The Extremely Condensed Verses on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment were composed in the early 15th century by the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, Master Tsongkhapa. They are a concise, essential summary of his great work, *The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment*. Using the framework of the three scopes—or three levels of spiritual aspiration—this text systematically explains the complete, step-by-step training from a beginner's state all the way to Buddhahood. It encompasses core teachings such as the determination to be free from suffering, the awakening mind of bodhichitta, and the correct view of emptiness. It distills the thought of Atisha's *Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment* and integrates both the exoteric and esoteric teachings. It stands as one of the most authoritative practical guides in Tibetan Buddhism, with a profound influence on later generations, and is revered as a complete map for attaining perfect enlightenment.
