Here is the great Yeshe Lama, the most renowned, comprehensive and the most efficacious of the Dzogchen manuals. It is a sourcebook for Dzogchen Breakthrough/Leapover precepts. Certainly, the Yeshe Lama lives up to its reputation. It is still the crown jewel of the latter-day Dzogchen lineages. It is at the apex of the Longchen Nyingtik corpus of literature, presenting the essential Dzogchen yogas in pith instruction. The Longchen Nyingtik is based firmly in Longchen Rabjampa’s vision, a massive, vast and profound Dzogchen vision written down as the Seven Treasuries, which in turn were based intimately upon the tantras of the Nyingma Gyubum, the treasure house of Dzogchen.
The translation was made for the benefit of students who have received transmission and oral instructions from a teacher and need clarification and elucidation from an authoritative literary source. It is meant for yogins and yoginis, adepts and practitioners.
It may not be finally authoritative, but grounded in the wisdom of the old Dzogchen lamas who were wise before they came out of Tibet, as the fruit of a lifetime’s listening, studying and contemplation it may be of some use to people who are committed to the Dzogchen yogi ethos. The urban yogis who have no connection with the traditional teaching may also appreciate access to its precepts. Most significantly, in my mind, this translation stresses the nondual aspect of Dzogchen, the radical aspect that is overlooked by conventional Buddhist Vajrayanists.
The translation attempts, wherever possible, to clarify instruction, resolve ambiguities, and turn abstruse Tibetan nuance and allusion into comprehensible English prose. Sometimes that is not possible because of an absence of English equivalents of Tibetan terms or metaphors, sometimes because of the density or obscurity of the Tibetan meaning, sometimes because an arbitrary meaning has been lost in the recent attenuation of the tradition. Certainly, this translation does not purport to reproduce the high literary quality and form of Jigme Lingpa’s Tibetan prose – which is inimitable. Nor is it a literal translation where every word is accounted for and every instance of a particular word translated by the same English equivalent.
Rigzin Jigme Lingpa, the eighteenth-century mystic-scholar who composed the Longchen Nyingthig was an incarnation of Longchenpa in the most significant sense of the expression and his Longchen Nyingtik became the seed, root and branch of a Dzogchen revival that reverberates around the entire world at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

The Yeshe Lama Jigme Lingpa Dzogchen Atiyoga Manual edition by Keith Dowman Religion Spirituality eBooks
There should be an an understanding that spiritual path of an individual is their own business to an inconceivable extent. Thus if one were to locate a book such as this, it be pretty important to align your practice in a way so that you benefit from it. And only the person them self can possibly know how to do it. So, if a person connects with these "top most" teachings with appropriate degree of seriousness, they will know what to do how to handle these.After all this is that spiritual path we are talking about here, the one and same that millions of people do not see any value to at all, let alone Buddhist, or Dzogchen teachings... So, yes it is most interesting to try and wrap your mind around the idea that century after century there seemingly persists a large number of people that do get the teachings, do attempt some manner of meditation and still seem to follow into the direction of the "butter bag" - a traditional tibetan idea based on the fact that butter was stored in a leather bag. That bag would become so hard from all the contact with the butter, so it would not be ever softened ever again by application of any more butter... The highest risk that people coming in contact with Dzogchen and liberating Vajrayana teachings is not using these to liberate.
Then there is a storm wave of voices about accurate, bad, good whatever translation that this one is or not. Well when your 40 years of study and contemplation result in your translation of a Yeshe Lama, then it will be possible to compare. Until then, we got this.
And yes in the west and in US we do not have a strong Buddhist tradition at all, it all is very new and very much uncertain. So, one hears people very actively attempting to discourage others in taking their path seriously.
May this review and most of all the book about which I managed to talk very little, be of liberating benefit to all!
In addition there are two more translations of the same text that can be considered:
Highest Wisdom: A Guidebook to The Stages of Path of the Primal Guardian According to Longchen Nyingtig Great Completion by Jigmey Lingpa , translated by Tony Duff
And,
Yeshe Lama By Vidyadhara Jigmed Lingpa
Translation by Lama Chönam and Sangye Khandro
-Light of Berotsana
We are alive in very fortunate times!

The Yeshe Lama Jigme Lingpa Dzogchen Atiyoga Manual edition by Keith Dowman Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Is this the book that most deserves the title bible for the practice of Dzogchen? It’s difficult to imagine a more likely candidate. After a month of savoring this very readable translation of Jingme Lingpa’s Dzogchen Atiyoga Manual, returning to it remains as refreshing an experience as reading it for the first time. This is a “radical” Dzogchen, but the translator explains his reasons for making it available (see page vi.). Although it bears the translator’s warning that it’s one of the so called secret teachings, for those who accept the concept of self-secret and who have experience in the practice of Buddhist meditation, it will likely prove supremely rewarding. If not, it should be put aside for a later reading done under the guidance of mentor or guru. This probably isn’t where you want to start if it’s your first foray into Buddhism.
In a fine introduction the translator poetically sings the praises of Yeshe Lama and places it in historical perspective It’s relatively new, written only three hundred years ago. That’s not far back in a 2500 plus year Buddhist tradition. It’s a manual, it’s “lamrim”, and must be practiced, drilled with until its second nature, like a soldier’s skills. But now if it is to survive, it must survive outside the Tibetan traditions, and after all it is a direct path of breakthrough and crossing over to our natural state in an act of spontaneous liberation. All these labels are themselves contrived and the reader/practitioner must go beyond them, “leap” to the result. The translator warns; don’t mistake the finger that points towards the moon as the moon itself (page xii.). That’s why it’s now being made directly available without the filter of lama. It’s universal. You are being given the keys to the palace. Nothing omitted, nothing for future revelation. Read and wonder. Good luck.
Immeasurable gratitude to Keith Dowman for bringing Dzogchen into the present time. You must read all his introductions!
