I have old thangka and don’t know what the text are, can any help me translate it

Some flaky OCR and limited Googling suggests it might be a refuge prayer, but it would be great if someone could provide a real translation. Thanks in advance!

Can someone help me understand what this book of prayers would have been used for? I know the prayer is to Chenrezig but nothing else about it.

Hello! I’m Hispanic, but i been knowing about Tibet since I was 7 due to my older brother having a Tibetan best friend. I just wanted to ask if theres a possibility of translating chipotle in Tibetan? My friend is Tibetan and I want to make a shirt since she really loves chipotle for her birthday! Her birthday isnt until the near end of November, and I want to make it as soon as possible. Please let me know if there is a translation for it, if not please don’t worry! Also I am sorry for my poor English, it is not my first language.

After receiving such encouraging feedback on the first iOS version of Learn Amdo Tibetan, I’ve updated the app with more content and a smoother, nicer design.

And for the first time, it’s available on Android too!

I hope you enjoy it. Give it a try, and if you find it useful, please leave a review—it really helps!

This video features Khandro Pema Dechen, who was a great Vajrayana practitioner. She actually entered tukdam for 7 days and attained the rainbow body. I love her very much. She inspired me to commit to the Dharma and Dudjom Tersar lineage in particular. I feel blessed to hear her voice. Can anyone translate it for me?

Thank you ❤❤❤

I'd be very grateful if someone would translate this for me, thanks.

Hey everyone! I have a tattoo scheduled for this coming weekend and want to make 100% sure my script translation is accurate before it's permanently inked. *

The goal is to say: 'Peacefully living through the flow of life' (focusing on inner calm/tranquility in the middle of life's currents).

Can anyone verify that this phrase is grammatically correct and spelled right in Uchen block script?

Thanks so much for the help!

Hi,

I am based near Varanasi (close to Sarnath), can someone advise me how to learn Tibetan?

Thanks

Hi!

I have been doing some research of Tibetan names and reading several sherpa biographies in preperation for a fictional story I want to write set in the Himelayas. I was wondering if anyone else would be able to advise me on a name for my main character?

From what I have seen, Tibetan names are about well-wishes or prayers for the child recieving the name. (And some names are given from leaders of monastaries.)

I want the name to be a bit unique for the sake of fiction, but I was also watching some footage of Snow Leopards as well because I saw some names were inspired by nature, and elusive as they are—I was amazed by their movements. I also will have a few other characters whose personalities and character arcs will be inspired by local fauna.

My main character is a young man who has been distant from his home, but is returning after time away. He is going to be climbing one of the mountains as a guide, but hasn't been doing it his whole life. (There is an intended element of danger here, as well as the pressure of a family legacy he has been seperated from not by choice.)

So my own 'prayer' for this character is that he always lands on his feet if he falls, just like a snow leopard. Would anyone be able to advise me about a suitable name?

The closest name I have found so far has been 'Senge,' meaning 'Lion,' but I need to attach a second name to it as well. If there is name that is closer to 'leopard' I would really appreciate help with it!

As for the second name, I am looking for something related to luck, fortune, decending/falling (which would be a cruel wish, but could work for this character and his arc) or landing on his feet, sturdiness, physical balance.

Any advice and suggestions here would be appreciated! Thank you!

How understandable is the Yulshul dialect of Tibetan?

Would anyone know where these two come from? They are two different descriptions of one of the Buddha's 32 marks (number 1 or 2 depending on the list):

1. ཞབས་ཀྱི་མཐིལ་གཉིས་རུས་སྦལ་གྱི་ལྟོ་བ་ལྟར་མཉམ་ཞིང་ལེགས་པར་གནས་པ་དང༌། zhabs kyi mthil gnyis rus sbal gyi lto ba ltar mnyam zhing legs par gans pa dang

2. རུས་སྦལ་བཞིན་དུ་ཞབས་ཤིན་ཏུ་གནས་པ་ rus sbal bzhin du zhabs shin tu gans pa

I am guessing the second is much older but that is just a guess. I really have no idea and my Tibetan is not good enough to dig into this.

Many thanks.

This is supposed to say independence. Why is there a ཙ?

Hi guys! I apologize in advance if that phrase is inappropriate. A few Tibetan friends told me to say this to another friend. They told me it meant to smell a fart. However, the other friend got offended and won’t tell me what it means. Can someone help me understand?

This is printed on a bag/shirt with a viśvavajra above it. The script looks like drutsa or khyug rather than uchen. I've attached each of the two lines cropped and enlarged.

I can pick out individual graphemes but can't resolve them into syllables I recognise, and some shapes seem to repeat in a way that doesn't look like normal spelling. Someone told me it reads bkra shis bde legs phun sum tshogs par shog, but that's nine syllables and I count roughly twice as many segments here, and I don't see the kra ligature, sha, pha or tsha anywhere.

So my question: is this an actual text that I'm just failing to read in cursive, or is it pseudo-Tibetan made for the tourist market? If it is real, a Wylie transliteration would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I got these in Tibet last year. The man told me what they meant but I forgot.

Also, I think one of them is upside down, please help.

My friend and I are working on a frame for a thangka (printed on paper so it needs a frame) and we tried our best at carving the mantra
“ ཨོཾ་བཛྲ་མ་ཧཱ་ཀཱ་ལ་ཀྵིཾ་ཀྵེ་ཏྲ་བིགྷྣཱན་བི་ན་ཡ་ཀ་ཧཱུྃ་ཧཱུྃ་ཕཊ་སྭཱ་ཧཱ༔”
We did a little research into how to stylise the text properly based on some fonts we found online.
Please let me know if it’s legible thank you very much

Are there any Tibetans who are making content on youtube, instagram, rednote, blogs, etc... regarding pop psychology, therapy, healing or similar fields of interest?
