I coudn't find a translation, but from what I gather from the title:
- 大圆满 Dzogchen
- 前行 forward, advance
- 法海 Fa-Hai
法海 Fa-Hai was a Chan monk in the Tang dynasty, but is also the name of a Sino-Tibetan Lama (1920-1991) who studied both Chan and Dzogchen. Monica Esposito wrote a book in English on this blending of disciplines:
The Zen of Tantra: Tibetan Great Perfection in Fahai Lama's Chinese Zen Monastery
Hope this helps.
