Jangchup Lamrim Teachings by HH Dalai Lama

Eighteen Tibetan Lamrims

The following five volumes contain the Tibetan-language critical editions of all eighteen Lamrim texts, which His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave His discourse on during the Jangchup Lamrim Teachings.

During the 2012 and 2013 Jangchup Lamrim Teachings His Holiness completed teachings on 13 of the 18 texts. During the 2014 Jangchup Lamrim Teachings, His Holiness began two texts.  During the 2015 session of Jangchup Lamrim Teachings, His Holiness completed all of the five remaining Jangchup Lamrim texts.
