The unimpeded path (Skt. ānantaryamārgaḥ; Tib. བར་ཆད་མེད་ལམ་, Wyl. bar chad med lam)
In the Khenjuk, Mipham Rinpoche says:
- The unimpeded path eliminates the destructive emotions without any impediments, immediately following the path of joining.[1]
The Great Tibetan Dictionary says:
- The unimpeded path is the actual antidote which eliminates the obscuration of one's respective path. It is the path which is free from impediments for the subsequent arising of the result of wisdom[2]
The Dungkar Great Tibetan Dictionary says: It is called the unimpeded path since there are no impediments of other paths between one's own respective path and the path of total release.[3]
From among the sixteen moments of the path of seeing, the unimpeded paths are synonymous for the eight acceptances, which are the actual antidotes for the eight discards.
