Kadam Lamrim is the great mirror of Dharma in which we can see the way things really are; and through which we can see what we should know, what we should abandon, what we should practice and what we should attain.

Kadam Lamrim is the supreme medicine that can permanently cure all the sufferings of sickness, ageing, death and rebirth; it is the scientific method to improve our human nature and qualities, and to solve our daily problems.

Whenever Lamrim practitioners experience difficulties and suffering they think, ‘Countless other living beings experience greater suffering and difficulties than I do’, and in this way they develop or increase their compassion for all living beings.

We can use all the difficulties that we see in the world as spiritual teachings that encourage us to develop renunciation, the wish to liberate ourself from the cycle of impure life; compassion, the wish that others may be liberated permanently from the cycle of impure life.

Because of these five impurities, suffering, problems and dangers are increasing everywhere. However, through Lamrim practice we can transform our experience of all these impurities into the spiritual path that leads us to the happiness of liberation and enlightenment.

In this spiritually degenerate time there are five impurities that are increasing throughout the world: and (5) our actions are becoming increasingly impure because we have no control over our delusions.

Kadam Dharma accords with people’s daily experience; it cannot be separated from daily life. Everyone needs it to make their lives happy and meaningful, and to solve temporarily their human problems through controlling their anger, attachment, jealousy, and especially ignorance.

There is no difference between Kadam Dharma and people’s everyday experiences. Even without studying or listening to Dharma, some people often come to similar conclusions as those explained in Kadam Dharma teachings through looking at newspapers or television.

In general, all Buddha’s teachings, the Dharma, are very precious, but Kadam Dharma or Lamrim is a very special Buddhadharma that is suitable for everyone without exception.

Everyone, both Buddhist and non-Buddhist, needs permanent liberation from suffering, and pure and everlasting happiness. This wish will be fulfilled through Lamrim practice; therefore it is the real wishfulfilling jewel.

Through gaining experience of Lamrim we will understand that none of Buddha’s teachings are contradictory, we will put all Buddha’s teachings into practice, we will easily realize Buddha’s ultimate view and intention, and we will become free from all mistaken views and intentions

Kadam Lamrim is the condensation of all Buddha’s teachings; it is very practical and suitable for everyone and its presentation is superior to other instructions.

There is not a single teaching of Buddha that is not included within Kadam Lamrim. For this reason JeTsongkhapa said that when we listen to the entire Lamrim we are listening to all Buddha’s teachings and when we practice the entire Lamrim we are practicing all Buddha’s teachings

Buddha gave simple teachings to those of initial scope, profound teachings to those of middling scope, and very profound teachings to those of great scope. In practice, all these teachings are part of Kadam Lamrim, which is the main body of Buddha’s teachings.
