Lamrim Chenmo (T. lam rim chen mo ལམ་རིམ་ཆེན་མོ་) or "Great Treatise of the Stages of the Path" is a famous work of Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa that presents a detailed explanation of the "stages of the path" (lamrim). It was written in 1402.

It is ostensibly a commentary on Atisha's Lamp for the Path of Awakening, although it is also influenced by Drolungpa's Tenrim Chenmo and quotes extensively from the works of Indian masters.
