TIBETAN LANGUAGE INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES
READING & TRANSLATING
THE 37 PRACTICES OF BODHISATTVAS
VIRTUAL TELECONFERENCE COURSE
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!

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.
