Following In Your Footsteps: Volume 3: Tibet by Padmasambhava

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 marvelous 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 realized Tibetan masters, such as Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo, Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, and Jamyang Khyentsé Chökyi Lodrö.

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 Rinpoché and Phakchok Rinpoché. 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.

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

Neten Chokling Rinpoche was born in 1973 to a humble family in Wandipodzong, central Bhutan. Rinpoche was recognized and enthroned at the age of seven as the Fourth Neten Chokling Rinpoche by both His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa and Kyapjé Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, from whom he received many teachings and transmissions. Renowned as an accomplished practitioner, Rinpoche is the spiritual head of the Pema Ewam Chögar Gyurme Ling Monastery in Bir, India. Rinpoche spends most of his time in retreat, oversees many Vajrayana practices, gives teachings, and works as a film director.

Phakchok Rinpoche was born in 1981 to Kyapjé Tsikey Chokling Rinpoché and his wife Dechen Paldron. Rinpoche was recognized at a young age as the seventh Phakchok Rinpoché, an incarnation of a great teacher and meditation master. Receiving ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche received a thorough education and training in Buddhist philosophy and meditation, studying with some of the most accomplished masters of modern times, his main teachers being his grandfather Kyapjé Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Kyapjé Nyoshul Khen Rinpoché. Rinpoché completed his education at the Dzongsar Institute of Advanced

Buddhist Studies in Bir, India, where he received the Khenpo title. Rinpoche travels the world, teaching in Buddhist centers, universities, and monasteries from Asia to the US, from South America to Europe.

Lhasey Lotsawa is a growing team of young translators, editors, and writers working under the guidance of Kyapjé Tsikey Chokling Rinpoché and Phakchok Rinpoché.
