Lamrim (Tibetan: "stages of the path") is a Tibetan Buddhist textual form for presenting the stages in the complete path to enlightenment as taught by Buddha
####################
My suggestion would be to divide the twelve months of the year into lamrim meditations and then meditate on each subject for one month or two weeks to finish the whole lamrim in one year. . . . To meditate like this each year, wow, wow, wow! That would be great. Your life would be so rich and you would be getting closer to realization and closer to enlightenment. . . . At the time of death you can be happy and satisfied that you spent enough of your life practicing Dharma. —Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Day 1 The lamrim is the main road, the direct highway to enlightenment —Lama Zopa Rinpoche
##################
The full responsibility of each of us is to free every sentient being from suffering and its cause and bring them to enlightenment, by ourselves alone. In order to do this, we first need to attain enlightenment ourselves; we need to achieve the omniscient mind that sees all sentient beings directly. Then we can read sentient beings’ individual minds, see all their characteristics, levels of mind and karma, and know all the methods that will suit even one sentient being’s mind to lead that being from happiness to happiness to full enlightenment.
#######################
Day 2 In the lamrim, we deal with reality, and reality speaks to us —Lama Yeshe
########################
The lamrim reveals our ignorance, desire, hatred and ego and demonstrates how these negative minds result in complications and misery. Each lamrim meditation is an antidote to a certain delusion and helps us eliminate it.
#######################
Don’t believe in something supernatural up there. If we act in a certain way, meditate on certain things, we turn our wisdom on. Each lamrim meditation is like a switch—when we have a particular problem, we turn on the relevant switch and there is light. If we have another problem, we turn on a different switch. We push the right button, the Dharma light comes on and our disaster situation vanishes. It is very scientific, therefore we can do it
##########################
Day 3 Dedicating our life to achieving lamrim realizations is the most important thing we can do —Lama Zopa Rinpoche
##################
Going through the main points of the lamrim outline gives us a wonderful overview of the Buddha’s teaching.
####################
Day 4 Guru devotion is the root of the path —Lama Zopa Rinpoche
#######################
Guru devotion, seeing the guru as a buddha, is called “the root of the path” because just as the trunk, branches, leaves and fruit grow from the stable root of a tree, all the realizations of the graduated path to enlightenment grow from stable devotion to the guru
#######################
Day 5 The guru is the antidote to the confused mind —Lama Yeshe
■ In order to cure our diseased minds, we need expert guidance in how the mind works
■ All the confusion of the world, from society to the individual, is created by the mind
■ We need an experienced teacher to help us develop tranquility and loving kindness
######################
Day 6 The virtuous friend is the most powerful
object in our life —Lama Zopa Rinpoche
■ The person we recognize as our guru becomes the most powerful object in our life
■ The Dharma connection comes from receiving teachings as a disciple of the guru
■ The quality of our guru devotion will determine whether it brings merit or suffering
