Practice Reading & Translating

With Lama David Curtis

Beginning Thursdays      July 24, 2008

 

 

The 37 Practices of Bodhisattvas continues to be a core teaching of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and its message is both vital and inspiring for those trying to build a more compassionate world. This is a text which becomes richer and richer with each reading.

 

 Now you have the opportunity to study this beautiful and often-taught text in Tibetan.  

 

"David Curtis is one of the best teachers of Tibetan Language. Ι .  It is a rare opportunity. David is not just a language teacher; he is part of an authentic Dharma lineage."                                                            

                                                                                           --Anam Thubten Rinpoche, Tibetan Lama

 

Learning Tibetan from David Curtis is definitely one of life's better experiences.

I'm enjoying the course very much. Just the weekly discipline of attending helps a lot. I think your mind works very much like mine--a lot of the side points you make just sort of light things up for me, and I really appreciate the way you analyze the Tibetan. I'm glad I've signed up for the next course as well!                       --S.L., NYC

 

I love this course. I feel as if I am finally making progress in Tibetan. Thanks, David! Your method works, you know.                                                  --W.S., New Orleans

 

Just wanted to say how great the virutal class was last night. Thanks for doing such a great job with the materials. And David's presentation was so interesting, tight, and focused. The whole thing was a lot of fun--so thank you!                 -R.A., MT         

 

I am enjoying [the Heart Sutra Course] very much. It's my third time through translating it, and yet I get more every time.                                 -C.M., PA
