Lama Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) composed The Three Principal Aspects of the Path as a concise guide to liberation and awakening. The text outlines Renunciation, the determination to be free from cyclic existence; Bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings; and Wisdom, the realization of emptiness that uproots ignorance. Together, these three serve as the essential foundation for all stages of practice. Venerable Tenzin Michael will offer an accessible explanation of their meaning and application in daily life.
This event leads up to tomorrow’s Lama Tsongkhapa Day, which also marks Lhagsam’s 10th year anniversary. Read more here.
