ⓒ1995 Contains some gems but hard going. Many untranslated words in Tibetan and Sanskrit. Even when all the words are English it's hard to understand, for example, "The inherent freedom of being is spontaneously, primordially present. All delusory perceptions are naturally nonexistent in this dawn of innate awareness wisdom."

Nyoshul Khenpo's profound Dzogchen teachings as translated by Lama Surya Das. Contains a history of this Dzogchen lineage, and profound dohas that sing of loving-kindness (bodhicitta) and the potential of infinite emptiness.

Of course anything from Nyoshul Khen is wonderful! But this book for me is spoiled by Surya's self promotion; Khen Rinpoche was so humble any student that really listened to him understood that. Surya is a lovely man, but maybe not free from ego. You be the judge.
