Access to All Study Materials for the Advanced Level (SINI Online Tib. 301) Beta Version

We are very excited to announce the possibility of buying access to our most recent addition to our Courses, namely the Lower Advanced Course, Tib. 301 resources! These are based on the yet to be published Volume 3 of the བོད་སྐད་སྙིང་པོ།, Heart of the Tibetan language textbook which is a unique blend of Colloquial language and Dharma terminology.

These resources are particularly suited for people who wish to enroll in our Upper Advanced Course, Tib. 302, starting in January 2026 but also for other dedicated Tibetan language learners with an interest in the Dharma.

Detailed Description

Lessons 21 - 25 of the yet to be published textbook བོད་སྐད་སྙིང་པོ།, Volume 3 offer comprehensive grammar explanations of various topics: You’ll learn more about temporal connectives of simultaneity (སྐབས།, དུས།, རིང་།, etc.) and sequence (པའི་རྗེས་ལ།, གོང་ལ།, etc), nominalisers such as སྟངས།, སྲོལ། and ཚུལ། as well as བྱ་ཚིག་གཉིས་པ། such as ཆོག་པ།, སྲིད་པ།, རན་པ།, རྩིས་པ།, etc. There are also explanations and practice opportunities of Dharma vocabulary around various basic Buddhist topics, such as སངས་རྒྱས་ཤཱཀྱ་ཐུབ་པའི་རྣམ་ཐར་གྱི་སྐོར།, ཆོས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོ་རིམ་པ་གསུམ།, དམ་པའི་ཆོས་ཉན་ཚུལ་གྱི་སྐོར།, etc. Lastly, a brief explanation on the root verses of the ལེགས་བཤད་ལྗོན་དབང་།, the famous commentary of the སུམ་ཅུ་པ། is also part of each webinar.

Given they are now at an advanced level, our non-human students ask all their questions in བོད་སྐད་རྐྱང་རྐྱང་། and also have quite extensive and engaging conversations with each other between the questions - in བོད་སྐད། too of course. Their questions are displayed in the Zoom chat to facilitate your learning and are read by our native speaker colleague, རྒན་ལྷག་པ་ཚེ་རིང་ལགས།.

Important side-note

These carefully developed Tibetan language materials serve as a supplement to your main learning journey. As creative and thorough as they are, they can not substitute communication skills and insights into the language that one gains when participating in a Tibetan language course or engaging with a study community. It is because learning a language, especially a spoken one, is a social undertaking, and mastering a language alone is nearly impossible. That's why we strongly encourage you to enroll into a Tibetan language course or find fellow companions who also study Tibetan language to form a small study group together!
