Reddit mentions of The Nature of Mind: The Dzogchen Instructions of Aro Yeshe Jungne

>I'm interested in further pursuing knowledge of Buddhism.

This best way is to start meditation. Along with following a teacher's advice, you can just start practicing on your own. [Here's a book] (https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Mind-Dzogchen-Instructions-Jungne/dp/1559394498/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487877931&sr=8-1&keywords=the%20nature%20of%20mind) that can help you with meditation. [Here's another one] (https://www.amazon.com/Stages-Meditation-Dalai-Lama/dp/1559391979) that also deals with loving-kindness meditations.

The Tibetan book of the dead is actually advanced practice. So many people read it because of the mystique, but that's a little silly. I'm not saying you can't make a karmic connection by reading certain texts but still, I would advise getting into something more suitable for a beginner.

On a related note, here's a new book (check out the preview mode): http://www.amazon.com/Nature-Mind-Dzogchen-Instructions-Jungne/dp/1559394498?ie=UTF8&colid=BRGP8O8PXQFC&coliid=I3HQTOBCHJXZQT&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl

EDIT: actually, this is not new, just a new edition I guess. I thought it looked familiar... because I own it with a different cover but there is no credit given to Patrul Rinpoche on the cover.
