Middle-Length Lam-Rim
Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) is a well-known Tibetan religious philosopher. He wrote the brilliant middle-length Lam-rim on the stages of the path to enlightenment at the age of 59, 13 years after he had written the Great Commentary of Lam-rim. This course enables us to grasp the essential points of practice.
