This practice contains meditations that require the student to have permission/empowerment received from a qualified master in order to engage in the self-generation of the deity. However, it is permitted to do the meditations without such an empowerment as long as you do not generate yourself as the deity. Instead, you should generate the deity at the crown of your head or in front of you instead of self-generation.

About one thousand years ago, the great Indian pandit and yogi, Dipamkara Shrijñana (Atisha), was invited to Tibet to re-establish the Buddha dharma, which had been suppressed and corrupted for almost two centuries. One of Atisha's main accomplishments in Tibet was his writing of the seminal text, A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, in which he extracted the essence of all 84,000 teachings of the Buddha and organized them into a clear, step-like arrangement that makes it easy for any individual practitioner to understand and practice the Dharma. This genre of teachings is known as Lamrim, or steps of the path, and forms an essential part of every school of Tibetan Buddhism.

The beauty of studying the Lamrim and memorizing as much as you can of the outline is that whenever you hear a teaching from anybody on anything, you know where it fits into the whole path. So, in that way, you can say that everything the Buddha taught is in the Lamrim.

An important study companion for anyone on the path and for those following the Discovering Buddhism program this will connect all the dots of how each module fits into the larger framework of the stages of the path to enlightenment
