Rest Is Best (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737159636)

Dzogchen-The Great Completion-tells us that we are already whole, complete
and perfect as we are. Amidst whatever turmoil the world can bring to our
doorstep, the Dzogchen teachings provide consolation, skilled guidance and
profound instruction. In this new book, Rest Is Best, from Z. Rinpoche, we have
the core essence of Dzogchen wisdom in a form that is tailored to the needs of a
modern reader.

Z. Rinpoche is a lineage-successor in the Dzogchen and Mahamudra lineages, and in
that capacity has been enjoined by her guru to bring the Dzogchen and
Mahamudra teachings to a worldwide audience. The book is taken from
talks-more appropriately called "evocations"-that Rinpoche gave to a
community of participants in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The language in these
evocations is warm and intimate, but also fierce, and burning with the fire of
unbearable compassion and beneficial intent.

The key points from these powerful evocations have been distilled into short,
pithy chapters in a book which directs us over and over again to the innate joy of
open intelligence. The ancient teachings of natural rest are skillfully explained and
elucidated, and practical instruction is given which applies very specifically to the
lives that people are living these days. This book is a treasure that will keep on
enriching the reader with each rereading.
