Its systematic path exerted immense influence on later Indian and Tibetan traditions, and it is widely cited by masters from all four major lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume presents the \u003ci\u003eLamp\u003c\/i\u003e in a thoroughly annotated English translation.
