'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Lamrim'''''. A Tibetan term applied to sundry mystical writings, since ''lam''(-''gyi'') ''rim''(-''pa'') signifies “a degree of advance,” especially in reference to the steps on the path towards perfection, and ''lam'' means a way, road or path. Connected with ''Lamrim'', as a term, are the words ''chen-mo'' or ''chen-po'', both signifying “great”; hence, ''Lam-rim chen-mo'', “the Great Road to Perfection.” H.P.B. stated (''Coll. Writings'', IX, 158) that the ''Lamrim'' “is a work of practical instructions, by Tsong Kha-pa, in two portions, one for ecclesiastical and exoteric purposes the other for esoteric use.” | '''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Lamrim'''''.
