Tibetan, Tuk Je Che - Tibetan Dharma Language Study Group

New DNKL Tibetan Dharma Language Study Groups on Zoom

Are you thankful that the Dharma has flown into our lives on the wings of the Tibetan Language? In its current endangered state, this precious, holy language could soon become extinct in a very few years if we don’t take some action to try to keep it alive. How can we do that? 

Let’s work together to cultivate Dharma Tibetan at DNKL. 

Project 1:  Beginners -  Let’s start learning the alphabet, basic daily prayers, and those Dharma terms which get translated in so many different ways.  (Please register:  Starting September 13th)

Project 2:  Those with some experience in Tibetan - We always  have numerous translation projects at DNKL which need assistance such as the preparation of prayers and compiling these into a prayer book.  

Project 3:  Translators - DNKL has a new publishing wing called Karuna Publications which has a long term goal of translating many Gsung ‘bum texts into English. Be part of the team for one of these projects. 

(For Projects 2 and 3:  Please send an email DNKLTibetan@gmail.com with your interest, project 2 or 3, and we will get back to you) 

Who should come to Project 1 beginners class:

Anyone interested in learning Tibetan, those who are scared to learn Tibetan but wish they could, and anyone else who is just interested in promoting the study of the Tibetan Language.  

Instructor:

Susan Altabet has been studying Tibetan for more than 25 years.  She began wondering how she would ever have time to learn Tibetan and decided that she would find a class and try to study each day while riding NYC subway. So she did that and little by little and over the years, it grew into something magically meaningful. Reading and reciting Dharma prayers and texts in the original language adds a special dimension, like receiving a lung direct from the guru. 

Hope you can join us in helping to preserve the Tibetan Dharma language and deepening your Dharma practice.
