Released in paperback for the first time, this new translation of the Tibetan master Longchenpa's famous work systematically presents the path of yogic conduct according to the Dzogchen tradition.
Longchen Rabjam (1308-1363) was born to a noble family of Tibet
under many signs of auspiciousness. He showed great skill in all
aspects of scholarship from an early age and excelled throughout
his life in the practice and accomplishment of dharma. His power in
visualization techniques and ability to actualize miraculous
appearances is well known throughout Tibetan history. Longchenpa
had many pure visions where he was given direct instructions from
Guru Padmasambhava and many other wisdom deities. Recognized as an
emanation of Vimalamitra, Longchenpa's sharp acumen and prolific
writings have made him one of Tibet's most renowned and precious
teachers.
The Padmakara Translation Group, based in France, has a
distinguished reputation for its translations of Tibetan texts and
teachings. Its work has been published in several languages and
renowned for its clear and accurate literary style.
“Finding Rest in Illusion completes the project to translate
the Trilogy of Rest, Longchenpa’s quintessential guide to the
Nyingma Dzogchen tradition. The Padmakara Translation Group is
well-known and respected for their clear, informed translations of
Tibetan texts into contemporary English. I am certain that this
third volume, which details how those who have recognized the
nature of mind should conduct themselves, will be a valuable
resource for practitioners and students of Buddhism alike.”—The
17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje
“Finding Rest in Illusion is the third part of Gyalwa Longchenpa’s
Trilogy of Rest. It is a most essential presentation of the
teachings of the Great Perfection in terms of the eight famous
examples of illusion taken from the Prajñāpāramitā scriptures. This
is a masterful and poetic translation and I believe it will be
invaluable to many dedicated practitioners.”—the Seventh Shechen
Rabjam Rinpoche
