The Collected Works of Dza Patrul contains a number of teachings on Nyingthig Dzogchen or Quintessence Great Completion. PKTC has translated and published many of them already.  This book presents the remaining three texts that have not been translated into English.  Each text covers a different aspect of Quintessence Great Completion.  A highlight of the texts is the one that tells the story of Jigmey Gyalway Nyugu's "post-death" teaching that he gave after he had died to his main disciple, the fourth Dzogchen Rinpoche.  These texts will be of great interest to anyone who is studying and practising Great Completion.  However, these texts all belong to the Longchen Nyingthig transmission so will be of special interest to those practising that system.

This book makes the prayer called “The Prayer of Threefold Ground, Path, and Fruition” available for the first time in English for practitioners of the Dzogchen teaching. The Prayer came through the Longchen Nyingthig tradition of the Dzogchen teaching.  In Tibet, daily recitation of the Prayer is an essential part of the practice of those who follow these teachings.  More than that though, it is such an amazing presentation of the most profound level of Dzogchen teaching that it is widely used by Dzogchen practitioners in general.  With that in mind, this book was produced so that all English-speaking practitioners of the Dzogchen teaching would have full access to the prayer.  Introduction, translations, ample footnotes, glossary, and book design by Tony Duff.
