A new translation of the Tibetan master Longchenpas famous work that systematically presents the path of meditation according to the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition.Finding Rest in Meditation is the second volume of the Trilogy of Rest, Longchenpas classic exposition of the Buddhist path, the purpose of which is to introduce us to our most basic naturethe clear and pristine awareness that is the nature of the mind. According to the traditional format of view, meditation, and action, it is the sequel to Finding Rest in the Nature of the Mind, which establishes the view of the Buddhist path generally, and specifically that of the teachings of the Great Perfection. It precedes the final volume, Finding Rest in Illusion, which focuses on post-meditation yogic conduct. This profound and comprehensive presentation of the Buddhist view and path combines the scholastic expository method with the direct pith instructions designed for advanced practitioners. The Padmakara Translation Group has provided us with a clear and fluid new translation of Finding Rest in Meditation along with its autocommentary, The Chariot of Surpassing Purity.Finding Rest in Meditation outlines the main points of meditation, namely, where one should meditate, what qualities a practitioner should possess and develop, and what should be practiced. Based on the authors personal experience, these instructions are designed to help stabilize and intensify direct insight into the nature of the mind through meditative practice.ReviewGyalwa Longchen Rabjam, the omniscient king of Dharma, was without doubt one of the greatest scholars and masters of the Old Translation school and of Tibetan Buddhism generally. Pouring forth directly from the ocean of his enlightened wisdom, his writings are the vehicle of an inexhaustible power of blessing. If merely to see and hear them in Tibetan is of immense benefit, there is no need to speak of the advantage of being able to study and understand them in ones own language. It has long been my wish that Longchenpas Trilogy of Rest, of which Finding Rest in Meditation is the second volume, should be translated into easily accessible English, and I am glad that the Padmakara translators have, at long last, been able to complete this task. I hope that many will profit from the teachings contained in these texts and dedicate all the efforts that have gone into their production, without forgetting the generosity of its sponsors, to the benefit of all beings. Taklung Tsetrul Pema WangyalOmniscient Longchenpas Seven Treasures and Trilogy of Rest are the greatest inspirations for the entire Nyingma school and all who follow the Great Perfection path as a means to attaining the state of Samantabhadra. I am delighted that Padmakara has accomplished this translation of Finding Rest in Meditation from the Ngalso Korsum, which I am sure will be a tremendous service to the Nyingma tradition and all those interested in the Buddhadharma in general. My immense gratitude for this accomplishment and publication. Dzigar Kongtrul RinpocheAbout the AuthorLONGCHEN RABJAM (13081363), 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. Longchenpas prolific writings have made him one of Tibets most renowned and precious teachers. The PADMAKARA TRANSLATION GROUP, based in France, has a distinguished reputation for all its translations of Tibetan texts and teachings. Its work has been published in several languages and is renowned for its clear and accurate literary style.

A LAK Z ENKAR R INPOCHE Supreme among the vast array of pith instructions - photo 8 A LAK Z ENKAR R INPOCHE Supreme among the vast array of pith instructions, Bringing into one epitome The crucial points without exception of the Tripitaka And the four classes of Tantra, These volumes are the summit of a myriad treatises That heal and that protect, A perfect chariot of teaching clear and unsurpassed, The supreme means whereby The minds of those who wander in the triple world, Find rest in freedom. Priceless in this universe, This scripture is the image of the speech of Longchen, Dharma king from Samy, who in times to come Will have the name of the Victorious Merudipa. It is a beauteous mirror formed of flawless crystal That reveals the sense of the essential lore Of the three yogas and nine stages of the Mahyna, Passed down by word of mouth and in the precious treasures, Rich patrimony of the line of knowledge-holders Of the Ancient Translations. Your aspiration first arose Upon the shoulders of the eastern hills And now your translation in a foreign tongue Shines like the day-creating sun Assisted by the light of publications wizardry. I celebrate its coming, The sweet friend of the lotus of the Buddhas doctrine.

From the smiling blossom of delight and happiness There falls such honeyed nectar of rejoicing That, not waiting for the songs of the applauding bees, I cannot help but pour out my congratulation. I who have grown old beneath this canopy of joy, This great refulgence of the sunlight Of the doctrine of the powerful Sage, Cannot but speak my praises of your wish To be of service to his teaching. Therefore may this lucid textual explanation, Indeed a health-sustaining herb For teachings of the Ancient Translation School And source of glorious sustenance for many beings, Increase a hundred, thousand, millionfold And be widely spread and propagated. With excellent aspiration and activity for the Buddhas doctrine in general and especially for the orally transmitted and treasure teachings of the Ancient Tradition of the Great Secret, the Padmakara translators have rendered into English root texts of the Trilogy of Rest, which are now published together with their autocommentaries, the spotlessly clear exposition of the mighty Conqueror Longchen Rabjam. With joy and admiration, I, Thubten Nyima, join my hands at my heart and offer flowers of rejoicing.

Moreover, as was explained in the translators introduction to Finding Rest in the Nature of the Mind, a complete translation of The Great Chariot, the autocommentary to Finding Rest in Meditation, being compendious and fairly straightforward, has been translated in full in the present volume. Unlike the Seven Great Treasures, only six of which were listed as separate items in Longchenpas own catalog, and which seem to have been grouped together as a single entity by later tradition owing to the similarity of their names, the three clusters of texts that compose the Trilogy of Rest were explicitly compiled into a single collection by the author himself. Yet despite Longchenpas evident intention to group the three sections of his trilogy together, there are reasons for thinking that they were not composed systematically as a single literary entity. It is clear, for instance, that the components of the trilogy were not written in the order given in the general presentation. For while Finding Rest in the Nature of the Mind and its commentary The Great Chariot were undoubtedly composed first, being cited in the subsequent texts, internal evidence shows that at least the autocommentary to Finding Rest in Meditation was composed after the autocommentary to Finding Rest in Illusion, which is the third part of the trilogy. The titles of the three root texts, as well as of the trilogy itself, do indeed suggest that the entire collection was conceived and composed together around the single unifying theme of restthe reposeful state of enlightenment in which beings find comfort and relief from their interminable wanderings in sasra.
