Following in Your Footsteps, Volume III: The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet

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 Padma—one of the single most important treasure biographies of Guru Padmasambhava—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 Tree—a treasure biography of Guru Padmasambhava—along with teachings by the contemporary Tibetan masters Neten Chokling Rinpoche and Phakchok Rinpoche. You will also find a collection of essential supplications and prayers—in both English and Tibetan—and beautifully rendered paintings to guide and inspire your journey into this miraculous world.
