Finding Rest in Illusion

“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

Longchen Rabjam (1308-1363), also known as Longchenpa, is a great luminary of Tibetan Buddhism. He was highly skilled in all aspects of scholarship from an early age and excelled throughout his life in the practice and accomplishment of the Dharma. Regarded as a great Dzogchen master, Longchenpa had many pure visions where he was given direct instructions from Guru Padmasambhava and is recognized as an emanation of Vimalamitra. Longchenpa’s prolific writings have made him one of Tibet’s most renowned and precious teachers.
