A new translation of the Tibetan master Longchenpas famous work that systematically presents the path of yogic conduct according to the Dzogchen tradition.Finding Rest in Illusion is the third volume of the Trilogy of Rest, Longchenpas classic exposition of the Buddhist path. The purpose of these teachings is to introduce us to our most basic naturethe clear and pristine awareness that is the nature of the mind. According to the traditional Tibetan Buddhist formula of view, meditation, and action, this volume follows 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, and Finding Rest in Meditation, which outlines the main points of meditation, namely, where one should meditate, what qualities a practitioner should possess and develop, and what should be practiced.The Padmakara Translation Group has provided us with a clear and fluid new translation of the final volume of the trilogy, Finding Rest in Illusion, along with its autocommentary, The Chariot of Excellence, both intended to elucidate the appropriate action of a Buddhist practitioner. Finding Rest in Illusion describes in detail the conduct of those who have stabilized their recognition of the nature of the mind and how to apply the Buddhist view when relating to ordinary appearances. Drawing extensively from classic Buddhist works, the author uses well-known examples of illusion found throughout Mahyna literature to illustrate the illusory nature of both sasra and nirva, thus revealing their ultimate nondual nature. This is an invaluable manual for any genuine student of Buddhism who wishes to truly find rest through the path of the Great Perfection.ReviewFinding Rest in Illusion completes the project to translate the Trilogy of Rest, Longchenpas 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 DorjeAbout the AuthorLONGCHEN RABJAM (13081363), also known as Longchenpa, is a great luminary of Tibetan Buddhism.

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 Mahayana, 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 the 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.

F INDING R EST IN I LLUSION and The Chariot of Excellence form the concluding part of Longchen Rabjams celebrated Trilogy of Rest. Their purpose, as the author himself declares, is to gather the entire teaching of Mahyna Buddhism into an essential point: the yoga of the two aspects of illusion defined and illustrated in terms of eight well-known examples taken from the Prajpramit scriptures.

The root text and its commentary are brief and pithy and their extraordinary profundity emerges only with slow, attentive, and repeated reading. They are replete with references to a wide range of scriptural sources, and the reader will soon discover that beneath their poetic surface lies an entire submerged continent of doctrine with which they may not be familiar. In the hope of being of some assistance, we have endeavoured to supply references to other texts where additional information may be found, notably Jigme Lingpas Treasury of Precious Qualities and its indispensable commentary by Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche. Identified by its author as a teaching of the Great Perfection, Finding Rest in Illusion touches on deep matters of great subtlety, and there is no question of providing, in a brief translators introduction, an adequate account of Longchenpas thought. However, in an attempt to bring the text into focus and to provide a few bearings useful to the general reader, we offer, with all due reticence, the following summary. In introducing
