About 1,000 years back, the great Indian pandit and yogi, Dipamkara Shrijnana (Atisha), was asked to Tibet to reestablish the Buddhadharma which had been suppressed and corrupted for almost two centuries. One of Atisha's main accomplishments in Tibet was his writing of the seminal word A Light for the Path to Enlightenment, in which he extracted the essence of most 84,000 teachings of the Buddha and arranged them into a clear, steplike arrangement that makes it easy for any individual practitioner to understand and practice the Dharma. This genre of teachings is known as lam-rim, or steps of the road, and forms an important part of each institution of Tibetan Buddhism. Within this book His Holiness the Dalai Lama gives a commentary never to only Atisha's innovative work but also to Lines of Experience, a brief lam-rim text written by Lama Tsong Khapa who was simply perhaps the best of most Tibetan lam-rim authors. In combining the teachings of Atisha, Lama Tsong Khapa and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this book offers listeners one of the clearest and most authoritative expositions of the Tibetan Buddhist path ever published. It is highly recommended listening whether you are in beginning, the middle, and the finish of the road. These teachings received by His Holiness in LA in 2000 and were sponsored and posted by Thubten Dhargye Ling in partnership with the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. The Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive (LYWA) is the accumulated works of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. The Archive was founded in 1996 by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the Archive's religious director, to propagate the Dharma for the happiness and good thing about all beings in as much ways as it can be.
