ཚང་མ་ལ་བཀྲ་བཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། Good wishes and greetings to you all!
I grew up in a nomadic family in Amdo (Eastern Tibet) and joined the monastery in my early teenage years. I have since spent more than twenty five years in monastic education with my journey taking me to Lhasa and finally to India in 2012. I have studied the entire Gelug curriculum from the basics in Buddhist epistemology and logic all the way to advanced Tantra.Me as a Teacher
I have two years of teaching experience both online and offline. I currently teach group classes in person (for beginner learners in Dharamshala) and have two long term advanced students.
I love teaching colloquial language (Utsang dialect) and would be happy to also specialise in Amdo dialect (should you wish to learn it). I am a compassionate and patient teacher, willing to adapt lessons to your needs- be that philosophy, literature, translation, grammar or just a desire to hold a conversation!My lessons & teaching style
I have developed some unique ways of teaching Colloquial Tibetan that help foreigners avoid the classic trap of being able to read very well but never speaking fully fluently.
Depending on your level and preferred ways of learning I have a flexible teaching style. Currently with my long-term students we are reading novels together. I support them by explaining any words they may not understand and translating any metaphors, proverbs and other literary devices. For beginners I focus mainly on colloquial language, learning to read the alphabet and form basic sentences (using a variety of constructions- some of which are unique to Tibetan!)My teaching material
