*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.”
Tsong Kha-pa also wrote a concise version expressing the heart of the Lamrim teachings. See: Essence of Refined Cold, tr. by G. H. Mullin, with commentaries by the Third & Fourteenth Dali Lamas, 1982; and Ch. VI of The Door of Liberation, tr. by Geshe Wangyal, 1978.
See further bibliographical data in Vol. IX, p. 441.
