The Six Preparatory Practices Adorning the Buddhaâ€™s Sublime Doctrine is important as an example of that body of Tibetan literature explaining preparatory practices. It outlines the organization of a Buddhist practitionerâ€™s daily meditation session, including visualizations, verses of praise, and a convenient condensation of the Graded Path (Lam-rim) contemplations. All the major points of the Graded Path meditation, including bodhicitta and right view, are touched upon. In addition, the verses of the famous and well-loved prayer Yon-tan bzhi-gyur-ma are to be found herein.
