Finding Rest in Meditation

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.
