Following in Your Footsteps: The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet presents the incredible feats of Guru Padmasambhava in the Snowy Land of Tiber. This tantric embodiment of awakening spent hundreds of years training with the greatest masters of India, practicing in charnel grounds, protecting the Dharma, and spreading these marvelous teachings far and wide. The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet explores the sacred sites where these activities reached their culmination, among the peaks and valleys of the Tibetan plateau. 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 realized Tibetan masters such as Jikmé Lingpa, Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo, and Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa. 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. The Lotus-Born Guru in Tibet is the third of a three-part series tracing the arc of Guru Padmasambhava's journey across the ages and landscapes of India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. Samye Translations has collected some of the most treasured stories from these sacred places, and presents it here as an authentic source of wisdom and inspiration.

These books are essential companions for anyone who wishes to truly follow in the footsteps of the Lotus-Born Guru. Samye Translations is a growing team of voting translators, editors, and writers working under the guidance of Phakchok Rinpoche.
