29. TANTRA IN CONTEXT

HAVING TRAINED YOUR mind in the common paths of Lamrim, you should engage in the practice of tantra, which is the gateway of the fortunate ones. It is by engaging in such a powerful and sophisticated path that the practitioner will be able to expedite his or her accumulation of merit and wisdom and achieve omniscience within the shortest possible time.

With that, this brief experiential commentary on Panchen Lama Lobsang Choekyi Gyaltsen’s Lamrim is concluded. As I have remarked over the last few days, the essence of the Buddha’s doctrine is to be a kind and good human being and to practice altruism.
