Lam Rim Teachings Transcript

Gehlek Rimpoche, 1987-1991. second, revised edition. 4 volumes.

(by meditating on the Lamrim)
One perceives all doctrines as non contradictory,
All teachings arise as personal advice,
The intent of Buddha is easily found
And one is protected
from the cliff of the greatest evil."
-Je Tsongkhapa, Lam rim du don

This standardwork contains the full cycle of teachings on the Lam Rim, the graduated path to enlighentement, given by Kyabje Gehlek Rimpoche between 1987 and 1992 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he founded the first group that was to become Jewel Heart.

It is a thorough body of work and at the same time a joyful, playful narrative. Reading it you will feel as though you are present at the teachings and discussions. Rimpoche’s way of teaching is faithful to the tradition and at the same time very relevant to the situation of lay people in a hectic western world. That makes this work unique.

Compared to the first edition, the text has been more carefullyarranged, the outlines in the text refined, the language checked again, literature and notes updated.
