Fluent Tibetan - Novice and Intermediate Levels - Volume 4

Documentaire

A Proficiency Oriented Learning System. The most systematic and extensive course system available for learning the Tibetan language independently. Fluent Tibetan was developed by language experts working in conjunction with indigenous speakers at the University of Virginia. Based on courses for diplomats needing to learn a language quickly, the method acquaints students with the sounds and patterns of Tibetan speech through repetitive interactive drills, enabling the quick mastery of increasingly complex structures and thereby promoting rapid progress in speaking the language. It is the first text recommended for language study by the Sera IMI House at Sera Monastery for Western monks as preparation for entry into the Geshe studies program.

Languages: English and Tibetan. 2 sets of CD : 1 to 12 and 13A to 18B. 3 sets of tapes (tapes 1, 2, 3). - Vocabulary - Grammar - Tape errata

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.

Courageous Compassion

Dalai Lama ; Thubten Chodron

Publié en 2021

Livre
Documentaire

The sixth volume of the Dalai Lama’s definitive Library of Wisdom and Compassion series. Courageous Compassion, the sixth volume of the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, continues the Dalai Lama’s teachings on the path to awakening. The previous volume, In Praise of Great Compassion, focused on opening our hearts with love and compassion for all living beings, and the present volume explains how to embody compassion and wisdom in our daily lives. Here we enter a fascinating exploration of bodhisattvas’ activities across multiple Buddhist traditions—Tibetan, Theravada, and Chinese Buddhism. After explaining the ten perfections according to the Pali and Sanskrit traditions, the Dalai Lama presents the sophisticated schema of the four paths and fruits for sravakas and solitary realizers and the five paths for bodhisattvas. Learning about the practices mastered by these exalted practitioners inspires us with knowledge of our minds’ potential. His Holiness also describes buddha bodies, what buddhas perceive, and buddhas’ awakening activities. Courageous Compassion offers an in-depth look at bodhicitta, arhatship, and buddhahood that you can continuously refer to as you progress on the path to full awakening.

The Four Noble Truths : The Foundation of Buddhist Thought - Volume 1

Geshe Tashi Tsering

Publié en 2005

Livre
Documentaire

The four noble truths are well known as the Buddha's first and most essential explanation of his enlightened realizations. The truths diagnose the human existential crisis--suffering and its origin--and prescribe a solution--cessation and the path. To understand the four noble truths is to understand Buddhism as a whole. In The Four Noble Truths, Geshe Tashi draws on his decades of training in Tibetan Buddhism to illuminate these truths for a modern audience. His respectful engagement with Buddhists outside his own tradition and his insights into Western culture make this book refreshing. It will reward even those already acquainted with the fundamentals of Buddhism. The Four Noble Truths is the first of six stand-alone volumes in the Foundation of Buddhist Thought series.

Buddhist Psychology : The Foundation of Buddhist Thought - Volume 3

Geshe Tashi Tsering

Publié en 2006

Livre
Documentaire

This new volume from the Foundation of Buddhist Thought series, provides a stand-alone and systematic - but accessible - entry into how Buddhism understands the mind. Geshe Tashi, an English-speaking Tibetan monk who lives in London, was trained from boyhood in a traditional Tibetan monastery and is adept in communicating this classical training to a modern Western audience. Buddhist Psychology addresses both the nature of the mind and how we know what we know. Just as scientists observe and catalog the material world, Buddhists for centuries have been observing and cataloging the components of inner experience. The result is a rich and subtle knowledge that can be harnessed to the goal of increasing human well being.
