Talking Buddhism

Talking Steps - Mapping the path to enlightenment.

A particular treasure within Tibetan Buddhism is the way that the entire path to enlightenment has been systematically mapped out in the "lam rim" texts. These teachings reveal in a graduated way each step we need to take to progress along the path. Because the whole path is covered it is said to be of particular benefit to receive or listen to these commentaries.

'When we speak about enlightenment and the path leading to it, we are naturally speaking about a quality, or state of mind. In the final analysis, enlightenment is nothing other than a perfected state of mind.'
His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

The "lam rim", or stages of the path, teachings originated with the Indian master Atisha and systematically cover the entire Buddhist path.
