Participants are from Brazil, Spain, Nepal, India and many other countries. This program was launched by a resident teacher of Nalanda Monastery, Geshe Graham. 11th January First part of the program began.
Influenced by the lamrim of Atiśa which starts with bodhicitta, the altruistic mind of enlightenment etc. Tsongkhapa wrote a treaty.
Tsongkhapa's texts start with reliance on a Guru, followed by the preciousness of human rebirth, and continue with the paths of the modest, medium and high scopes.
Tsongkhapa expanded the short root-text of Atiśa into an extensive system to understand the entire Buddhist philosophy.
In this way, subjects like karma, rebirth, Buddhist cosmology and the practice of meditation are gradually explained in a logical order.
The teachings of the lamrim are based on the sutras that the Buddha taught and therefore contain the essential points of all sutra teachings in their logical order for practice.
