Lamrim Chungwa (T. lam rim chung ba). “Short Treatise on the Stages of the Path”. Also called Lam rim ’bring ba (“Intermediate Treatise on the Stages of the Path”). This is the middle-length of three major treatises on lamrim ("stages of the path") composed by Tsongkhapa; the other two texts being the Lamrim Chenmo ("Great Treatise of the Stages of the Path") and the Lamrim Düdön ("Concise Treatise of the Stages of the Path").
The Lamrim Chungwa is about half the size of the Lamrim Chenmo, and less formal.[1] The Lamrim Chungwa is known its unique presentation of vipashyana and its treatment of the two truths (satyadvaya).[1]
