Self-Liberation Through Seeing With Naked Awareness, Being an Introduction to the Nature of One's Own Mind from The Prof by John Myrdhin Reynolds
A wonderful translation of a small but important part of the cycle known popularly as the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
The teachings of Dzogchen, which directly introduces the practitioner to the Nature of Mind, were first expounded by Garab Dorje in the country of Uddiyana and later went to India and Tibet. The essence of Garab Dorje's message is "The Three Statements that Strike the Essential Points." Patrul Rinpoche wrote a brilliant commentary, together with practices entitled "The Special Teaching of the Wise and Glorious King"—here translated with notes, commentaries, and a glossary of terms.
