A Manual of Key Buddhist Terms

Publié en 1997

Livre
Documentaire

Categorization of Buddhist Terminology with Commentary. In order to understand Buddhism clearly, we need to have a good knowledge of Buddhist terminology. This text, written by an 8th-century Tibetan translator named Kaba Paltseg, introduces us to a world of definitive Buddhist terminology. In addition to clearly categorizing many key Buddhist terms, the author provides comprehensive lists with commentaries of the terms through which the reader can learn about the world of Buddhism: its psychology, cosmology, philosophical outlook and other aspects Introduction According to Buddhism, the universe is the co-creation of all beings. Furthermore, it is said that every living being inevitably arises out of a multitude of causes and conditions, and it is one's own actions that determine one's future. To have proper control over one's actions so as to make them result in a positive outcome, one needs to know how an action causes results according to karmic laws. In order to help sentient beings attain these positive, or virtuous, outcomes, which are antithetical to negative outcomes, or suffering, the Buddha gave his teachings. The author of the present text apparently had the same goal in mind when writing this enumeration. By clearly categorizing many key Buddhist terms, the author provides the reader with lists that are easy to memorize. With this knowledge one can develop one's practice, which makes the individual focus on the accumulation of virtue instead of negativity. Of course, many present-day practitioners do not feel it necessary to go so far as to memorize all the relevant terminology. However, since the author also supplies a commentary on the terms, the reader learns a lot about the world of Buddhism, its psychology and its philosophical outlook by studying the terms and their definitions.

Tibetan Language Correspondence Course

Publié en 1987

Livre
Documentaire

This study course in Tibetan Language, and Dharma language in particular, is intended to enable students to understand to a reasonable extent the discourses spoken by Lamas, converse with them, and be able to read the texts with the beginning of understanding. This will be a very strong basis to be able to advance oneself quite rapidly. Tibetan has scriptural and common styles of writing, and honorific and ordinary ways of speaking. Furthermore, there are many dialects of the spoken language, just as the differences in the English of Britain and America. Their differences do not present great difficulty and one can easily accommodate one's understanding. In this course we attempt to use the most commonly heard pronunciation that will be the most useful to students. Spoken Tibetan has a very simple grammar. Explaining it with English grammatical terms, as we have done, is only useful as a reference point, and cannot be applied extensively. Scriptural Tibetan complies with rules that are fairly easy to learn; these rules will be presented gradually throughout the course. The technique for this course is to combine some study and memorization with listening and repeating without necessarily trying to understand. You should, by this technique, gain familiarity with pronunciation, intonation, and sentence construction. These are only learned by habit, and seem to dawn quite naturally. Because of the pertinent nature of the material dealt with, you should feel great delight as understanding begins to arise. Apply this enthusiasm to the actual study, memor~zings ome phrases, grammar and vocabulary. Flash cards are also very helpful at first. You may feel overwhelmed at times, but do not be disheartened. Tibetan is not really so difficult, and all Tibetans will be delighted with your attempts and be willing to help. The value to yourself and others of learning to speak and read Tibetan cannot be overstressed. To begin with, read the text and listen to the tape at the same time. Then listen and repeat with the tape whenever possible, such as when driving. Study the text and do the exercises when you have time. This was originally designed as a six-month course, but that means putting in some time each day. So do it at your own pace and send in the exercises of each lesson whenever you can. After you have finished this course, you will be ready to go on with your studies in either written or colloquial Tibetan. Then you can use this book as a useful reference. Good luck and best wishes.
