Note

In the context of discussing the Path of Meditation belonging to the five paths (see under the term lam lnga) 'Jigs med gling pa briefly elucidates the noble eight-fold path (after quoting from the Bshes sbring). His presentation is an elaboration of his previous treatment of the topic in the context of the four noble truths (Bden gnyis shing rta {115781:213.6}).
