Lamrim Year is an essential guide for meditators who want to develop their mind in the graduated path to enlightenment (lamrim). This unique study program provides a 365-day outline of the graduated path in a clear, practical format that is suitable for both individual and group practice. The daily quotes and text have been selected from four decades of teachings by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and offer a taste of their teaching style and scope.

Visit the free Lamrim Year Companion website and sign up to access the daily meditations wherever you are, from your computer or mobile device. We've recently added audio recordings of each entry, making it easier to access your daily meditation anywhere.

A Lamrim Year Crosswalk PDF is also available. This PDF is a navigational guide created to support students who wish to extend their understanding of the teachings found in Lamrim Year by reading the corresponding section of the renowned book Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand, by Pabongka Rinpoche.

READER FEEDBACK

Thank you so much for all the wonderful work you and your team do with the Lamrim Year Companion site. It is truly an extraordinary resource, and reading the daily quote and text on the graduated path to enlightenment throughout the year has been a precious support in my practice. The inspiring guidance, together with the beautiful photographs of Lama Zopa Rinpoche or Lama Yeshe, is truly uplifting—an incredible piece of work ….

I am especially grateful for the addition of the audio feature. As we grow older and our eyesight is not as sharp as before, having the possibility to listen in the morning makes such a difference. It feels as if you had read our minds—this is exactly what we needed! Please know that your dedication and care are deeply appreciated. Your efforts bring so much benefit and joy to practitioners like me all over the world, especially in these complex times.

With heartfelt thanks and warmest regards.

The Lamrim Year book and the Companion site have been a huge blessing. The format is everything! Having one page a day to focus on and the three points at the bottom of the page is a perfect format for me. I so appreciate how Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa write so clearly and precisely. They get right to the point every time. In math, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line and I really appreciate their mathematical sensibilities! I struggle with books that have so many words! My sincere thanks to the person who created this framework for the Lamas' teachings and to you for supporting it!
