Following in Your Footsteps, Volume III: The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet connects the reader with the sacred sites of Guru Padmasambhava, the forefather of Tibetan Buddhism.

This volume provides guidance through multiple resources so that today's practitioners can follow in the footsteps of Padmasambhava and bring his blessings onto their path. This book is the third of a three-part series dedicated to the sacred sites of the Lotus-Born in Nepal, India, and Tibet.

Padmasambhava spent hundreds of years training with the greatest masters of India, practicing in charnel grounds, protecting the Dharma, and spreading these marvellous teachings far and wide. The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet explores the sacred sites where Guru Padmasambhava's activities unfolded. Closely following Orgyen Lingpa's Pema Kathang: The Chronicles of Padmaβ€”one of the single most important treasure biographies of Guru Padmasambhavaβ€”these narratives are interwoven with rare accounts and visions from realised Tibetan masters, such as Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, and Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro.

The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet offers a translation of Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa's The Wish-fulfilling Treeβ€”a treasure biography of Guru Padmasambhavaβ€”along with teachings by the contemporary Tibetan masters Neten Chokling Rinpoche and Phakchok Rinpoche. You will also find a collection of essential supplications and prayersβ€”in both English and Tibetanβ€”and beautifully rendered paintings to guide and inspire your journey into this miraculous world.

Travel with us through these pages and discover the history and benefits of practices offered to support our pilgrimage.

About the Author

Guru Padmasambhava was miraculously born within a blossoming lotus flower on the shore of Lake Dhanakosha in the northwest of Uddiyana. Known as Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born, he grew to adulthood in the kingdom of Uddiyana and traveled extensively thereafter through ancient India in search of realized masters of sutra and tantra with whom to study the Dharma. The Lotus-Born Guru then traveled to Nepal, where he engaged in rigorous practices and extraordinary displays of compassion. Finally, he reached Tibet at the invitation of the renowned Dharma King Trisong Detsen, taking teachings with him that would inspire and transform, and that continue to do so to this day.
