Description About the author
 
Volume One, A Summary of the General Path

Do you want to read Classical Tibetan? if you know how to read the Tibetan u-chen script and can recognize words, How to Read Classical Tibetan will show you - at your own pace - all the relationships that make Tibetan easy to read. It is a complete language course built around the exposition of a famous Tibetan text on the Summary of the General Path to Buddhahood written at the beginning of the fifteenth century.

All the language tools you need are in one place: you won't need a dictionary, because all of the words and particles are defined and explained upon every occurrence; every sentence is completely diagrammed so that you can see how the words and particles are arranged to convey meaning.
Because everything is always explained in every sentence, you will easily learn to recognize the recurrent patterns, making the transition from learning words to reading sentences much easier for you. As you study How to Read Classical Tibetan, you will learn to:
  • recognize the syntactic relationships you encounter,
  • understand the meaning signified, and
  • translate that meaning correctly into English
