PROBLEMS FACED BY PRACTITIONERS

1. Regards oneself as a high level practitioner, but in fact listened and studied few of the teachings

2. Listened to the teachings extensively but have not attained the essence of practice; Being biased towards one’s own understanding and practice, and lack the ability to distinguish various teachings.

Master Tsong-kha-pha composed The Great Treatise On The Stages Of The Path To Enlightenment for the purpose of correcting these errors, and to guide practitioners on the correct method of cultivation, so that the sweat and tears shed by the practitioners through their lifetimes will not be in vain.
