Written in 1402 by Tibet's great scholar-saint Tsongkhapa, The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path is a complete, step-by-step map of the Buddhist journey to awakening. Drawing on the Buddha's own teachings and the great Indian masters, it meets the reader wherever they are — beginning with the realities of impermanence and death, moving through karma, suffering, and liberation, and culminating in the compassionate ideal of bodhicitta and the profound practice of emptiness. Tsongkhapa's genius was to arrange this vast terrain into a practical sequence that can actually be practiced, day by day. This modern-English edition makes that timeless guidebook inviting to contemporary readers: the language is clear, the structure transparent, and the meaning faithful. It is at once a work of philosophy, a meditation manual, and a compassionate companion for anyone seeking a life of awareness, ethics, and inner freedom. Part of The World Scriptures Library.
