Ven. Geshe Lobsang Chonyi on the importance of Lamrim:
The stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Lamrim) is one of the great classics of Tibetan Buddhism which Lama Tsongkhapa founded came from the Kadam tradition, where Atisha and other great masters devised a systemized structures of study known as the Lamrim (the gradual path to enlightenment), laying out the steps a practitioner must take in order to progress to enlightenment.
The Buddha gave teachings in order to share with us the path to enlightenment that he had actualized himself. These teachings are practical, give us the tools to deal with difficulties, and show us how to live a meaningful life. "Prayer and aspiration are not enough for deep transformation; reasoning is necessary. Transformation comes from studying the Lamrim, thinking about the topics, and doing analytical meditation on them. With a firm grounding in Lamrim, we'll be able to work with our mind no matter what is going on in it or around us.
