Introduction

This Tibetan class is going to be held in the very near future after we have confirmation in finding at least five (5) noble students wishing to partake.The first goal is the desire to learn both how to read and write Tibetan in Uchen  form, (which is the official letter and all the Buddhist teachings are readable through this form)The second goal is the contribution of the students towards Tibetans culture preservation where all the Tibetans are either committed to  mortgage payments as well as  struggling for the freedom of Tibet My goal is to seek support for myself and family and to benefit those who want to learn Tibetan in their own city and have limited time and resources.Please keep in mind that I am not a professional school teacher but as a native Tibetan I feel that through my years of studies both in Tibetan schooling and in Buddhist Philosophy studies gives me  some confidence in this field.

About The Tibetan Written Language

In the land of snow, 1254 yrs after the lord Buddha passed into Nirvana,the emanation of Boddhisatva Kuntuzangpo,king Lha thothori nyensten, was born. When he was 30 yrs old,Buddhist texts (Pangkong  Chagyapa etc) fell from the sky on the roof of his place,which was the inception of Buddha dharma in Tibet. At that time no one could read the texts.However,out of space predicted that after five generations of the royal lineage, the meaning of these texts would be clarified. In Buddha era 1499, the fifth king Songtsen gompo, an emanation of  Avaloketeshwara, was born to king Namri songtsen. At the age of 13, in 629 AD, he was enthroned and began to rule the country.

There was no knowledge of the triple gem and moreover , there was not even a image of the Buddha Dharma.Both in the perspective of spiritual and worldly activities, it was land of darkness.
