LONGCHEN RABJAM (1308-1363) is Tibet's most famous master of the
Dzogchen tradition. He was a prolific scholar, poet, and
accomplished spiritual practitioner. He authored hundreds of
seminal texts that make up the core of Nyingma traditional
instructions, systematically connecting traditional Buddhist
thought with esoteric Dzogchen instructions.
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.
"Gyalwa 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 one’s own language. It has long been my wish that Longchenpa’s
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 Wangyal
"Omniscient Longchenpa’s 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 Rinpoche
