Fermenting my first lager...question about transferring to secondary

I brewed a dopplebock a few days ago. I went with the recipe and method from "Brewing Classic Styles" by Palmer. The method is to cool your wort down to 44F, rack to a another carboy(to get the beer off the cold break), and then to add the yeast and over 36-48 hours raise the temp to 50F and let her go. I have done all of this.

My question is this. After fermentation is completed, should I transfer the beer to another carboy to get it off the yeast cake before lagering begins? I am planning on lagering this beer for about 7-8 weeks. I know that autolysis can happen with the yeast, and do not want this to happen. Any thoughts?

Yes, you'll definitely want to rack before lagering. If you're doing a diacetyl rest, you'll rack immediately after that rest.
