Dzogchen Magyü — The History of the Mother Tantras of the Great Perfection. By Jean-Luc Achard, Khyung-mkhar 2011, pdf edition, 46 pages.

This volume contains the history of a cycle of Dzogchen teachings revealed by a female tertön, the celebrated Künga Bum, who was one of the root-masters of the second Dungtso Repa, the revealer of an important Yangti Nakpo cycle of instructions.
