Original Sources

Post by Vidyaraja »

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some good source material of Dzogchen in English. For example I've recently been reading Longchenpa's "Natural Perfection" translated by Keith Dowman, which so far I've absolutely loved. So I was wondering if anyone can recommend some more or point me to some lists of other Dzogchen source material by ancient masters in a similar vein to Longchenpa. While original sources are what I am primarily after, if you can recommend some of the best Dzogchen books by modern authors I would be glad to hear of those as well.

Thanks in advance.
