A Lam Rim for our times
Here is the lamp that lights all Buddha’s teachings. A steadfast beacon for those lost in samsara’s ocean. A guide on the spiritual journey to freedom that many great practitioners have traveled. A treasure that provides meaningful benefit for all sentient beings.
Stages of the Path to Enlightenment
In Tibetan, Lam Rim means the Stages of the Path and concisely presents the Tibetan Buddhist path in logical steps that can be learned by the practitioner. This course presents a rare opportunity to participate in a series of classes headed by Demo Rimpoche. With his special guidance, the Lam Rim can help us develop a stable mind committed to enlightenment.
Lam Rim is the foundation for spiritual practice, for both beginners and advanced students. As such it is open and accessible to all.

Program details
Lam Rim begins with a clear recognition of our present situation and an indication of what we can rely on to find our way. Along this path we find an appreciation for the preciousness of life and the opportunities it affords. We discover a wellspring of compassion for ourselves and others. We learn generosity, patience, and joyful effort. We discard the negative emotions that hold us back from progress. We develop the ability to focus on what’s important and the wisdom to engage in effective action that leads to liberation.
This complete presentation begins on March 18, 2025 and is anticipated to run until May 2026. Demo Rinpoche teaches and teaching assistants summarize and lead discussions on alternate weeks. Recordings will be available for replay. Teaching Assistants will also be available to answer questions about the course.
This Lam Rim is an open invitation to join at any point.
