Released in paperback for the first time, this new translation of the Tibetan master Longchenpa’s famous work systematically presents the path of meditation according to the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition.
Longchenpa’s Finding Rest in Meditation is a classic Buddhist text outlining the main points of meditation, namely, where one should meditate, what qualities a practitioner should possess and develop, and what should be practiced. These instructions are a pithy distillation of the entirety of the Buddhist path designed to stabilize one’s direct awareness of the nature of mind through meditative absorption.
The Padmakara Translation Group has provided us with a clear and fluid translation to Finding Rest in Meditation, which will serve as a genuine aid to study and meditation. This text follows the first volume of Longchenpa’s trilogy, Finding Rest in the Nature of the Mind, which focuses on establishing the view and precedes the final volume, Finding Rest in Illusion, which focuses on post-meditation yogic conduct.

From the Translators Introduction: “FINDING REST IN MEDITATION is the second part of the Trilogy of Rest of Longchen Rabjam Drimé Özer. Details of the life and times of Longchenpa, as he is more frequently known, together with a general description of his writings are to be found in the introduction to the first part of the trilogy, Finding Rest in the Nature of the Mind, and there is no need to repeat them here. It is sufficient to remind the reader that the Trilogy of Rest—or, more literally, the Three Cycles on Rest—is composed not of three books but of three groups of texts, each of which comprises a root text in verse, an autocommentary called a “chariot,” a brief synopsis called a “garland,” and an essential instruction or “guide to practice.” Finally, the trilogy as a whole is rounded off with a general presentation entitled An Ocean of Elegant Explanations.”I highly recommend that this wonderful book be read with its two companions from the Padmakara Translation Group’s “Trilogy of Rest” series: “Finding Rest in the Nature of the Mind” and “Finding Rest in Illusion.”
