About this Item

Tsong-Kha-Pa (1357 1419), founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, was one of Tibet's greatest philosophers and a prolific writer. His most famous work, The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path, is a classic of Tibetan Buddhism. This is the first, one and only Lam rim in Russia translated and edited before the Revolution of 1917. The next edition of Lam rim was completed only after Perestroyka. Translated by Gombojab Tsybikov, famous explorer of Tibet. He specialized in ethnography, Buddhist Studies, and after 1917 was an important educator and statesman in Siberia and Mongolia.
