Also, after talking with both students of Khyentse Rinpoche and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, it appears that this commentary is actually by Trungpa Rinpoche. Of course, their realization is inseparable, so this is isn't of any real importance.
It must be said that in order to really understand Dzogchen, which is beyond the intellect and conceptual, dualistic experience, one must develop a relationship with a Dzogchen master and practice under his/her guidance if one wants to go beyond mere theory.
Nope, "dzog" means perfection or completion and "chen" means great. It refers to the natural state in which all the qualities of buddhahood are present primordially, and it also refers to the teaching and practice that helps one cut through the delusion that merely obscures recognition of this nature as it is. Seems a pretty appropriate title to me.
Have you heard of Namkhai Norbu? I didn't understand dzogchen til I read his book "The Supreme Source", my favorite book in a personal library of hundreds. His "Cycle of Day and Night" is a good follow up for practicing the mind state.
