The Foundation of All Good Qualities (Yon tan gzhi gyur ma) is a concise lamrim text by Je Tsongkhapa that outlines the graduated path to enlightenment in 14 verses. It covers the essential stages from cultivating devotion to one's spiritual teacher through the practices of beings of small, medium, and great spiritual capacity - including refuge, karma, the four noble truths, renunciation, bodhicitta, and the six perfections. The text serves as both a daily recitation and systematic guide for Tibetan Buddhist practitioners following the Geluk tradition's approach to spiritual development.
