Lamrim (wyl. lam rim) - 'Graded path', the step-by-step approach to the teachings set out by the great Atisha in his most important work, Lamp for the Path of Awakening and subsequently adopted by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, but especially the Kadampa and Gelugpa schools. The lamrim tradition categorizes beings according to three levels of spiritual capacity.
