An impressive collection of translations from a vast number of original Tibetan documents, as well as selections of the realization songs by the early masters of the Dzogchen lineage. This book looks at the original sources explaining how the Dzogchen teachings came into this world, who received them and passed them on. Much of this collection has never appeared in English before.
By relying solely on traditional Tibetan documents that clearly lay out the transmission of the Dzogchen lineage, this book fills an important gap in the body of Tibetan texts that are now available in English. This comprehensive selection describes the early Dzogchen masters lives and what they taught, with particular emphasis paid to the events that took place before the teachings were transmitted to Tibet.
