This wiki was established to encourage sharing and developing information around learning classical Tibetan. The goal is to have an online resource for Classical Tibetan grammar that is both updatable and searchable. Most of the content here comes from teachings and books by William Magee, Craig Preston, and Paul Hackett (UMA Tibet, Jeffrey Hopkins).

Author of a four-volume colloquial Tibetan language textbook, Franziska truly understands the elegance of the Tibetan language and generously offers everything she knows of the language to her students.

Franziska is the Tibetan language teacher at SINI and has helped countless students go from zero to hero. She has taught at the University of Virginia, the FPMT Translation Program, Emory University, SIT in Nepal, the Rangjung Yeshe Institute, and has been invited to many institutions to share her ideas and views on learning Tibetan. She has opened the door to the Tibetan language for so many students from all over the world. Her commitment to preserving the Tibetan language is deeply inspiring. If you are interested in learning Tibetan, consider taking her class.

LopLao (Easy Tibetan) was established to promote and advance Tibetan language and culture worldwide. It was founded in 2019 by Tenzin Choephel and Dr Rachael Griffiths, who were concerned by the lack of resources available to Tibetan language learners; especially members of the Tibetan diaspora, for whom this language provides a crucial link to their cultural heritage. Moving beyond traditional tools like textbooks, LopLao hopes to expand opportunities to learn Tibetan through creating varied, rich, and engaging resources. We aim to offer a variety of learning experiences like bite-size social media content, one-to-one online lessons with native speakers, YouTube videos, and blog posts. These additional formats offer flexibility, help keep learners engaged, and improve conversation, reading, and listening comprehension. Designed to support learners of all levels and backgrounds, including members of the diaspora, we believe our online provision provides the tools required for learning and sustaining engagement with Tibetan.

The aim of our project is to create and guide a team of young translators to translate these great classics. We’re beginning by translating into English and from there, the work can be easily translated into modern Chinese, Spanish, German, Russian and many other languages. We have teams around the world already translating our work. On this site, you’ll find a description of the latest round of texts that we’re translating and an introduction to the translators on our team. The translations of these texts are still in progress and are available for your eyes and thoughts as we go. As we value the opinions of our fellow Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan enthusiasts, our work is posted together with the original Tibetan language and is enabled to receive your comments.

The Dharma Farm carries on the training we received at Jeffrey Hopkins' famed Tibetan program at the University of Virginia in Tibetan and Sanskrit translating Tibetan works about the Buddhist philosophy of liberation. We believe accurate translation rests on understanding the underlying grammar and syntax. The Dharma Farm is a free on-line Tibetan language translation school founded in 2020 in Oregon as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. Our focus is preparing translators with the linguistic skills and philosophical background necessary for translating Tibetan works on Buddhist philosophy. Dharma Farm students are a global community, both monastics and lay people, who wish to develop the skills necessary for translating Tibetan Buddhist philosophical works.
