Great Exposition of Secret Mantra

Great Exposition of Secret Mantra (T. sngags rim chen mo). Tsongkhapa's great exposition of the stages of mantras.

The Wisdom Publications editors state:

Tsong Khapa’s Great Treatise on the Stages of Mantra (Sngags rim chen mo)—considered by the present Dalai Lama to be one of Tsong Khapa’s two most important books (along with his Lam rim chen mo)—is his masterful synthesis of the principles and practices of all four classes of Tantra, which formed the basis of his innovation in creating the esoteric “Tantric College” institution and curriculum in the early fifteenth century.
