(1 credit) This beginning/intermediate course is for the student who has familiarity with the alphabet but little or no prior formal study of classical Tibetan grammar. Students will begin to learn translation skills by working through a Tibetan Buddhist philosophic text, such as the second Dalai Lama’s Ferryboat for Entering the Ocean of Tenets.
