Quintessence of the Stages of Path - Part I (Yeshe Gyaltsen)

[Presented here is a draft translation of a hymn of prayers which summarizes the practices of the Stages of Path (Lamrim) with one-hundred stanzas. It was composed by the Most Venerable Yeshe Gyaltsen, tutor to His Holiness the 8th Dalai Lama and founder of Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery. Among numerous writings in this genre, it is marked with unique characteristics including personalized tone, experiential message and approachable language. May our hearts be moistened by the blissful nectar of sacred teachings!]
