“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

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.
