Reviews

“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
