Lingua Tibetana 2026

Tibetan Language class

Il primo modulo del corso di lingua tibetana è pensato per chi si avvicina per la prima volta a questa lingua e desidera costruire solide fondamenta nella scrittura, nella lettura e nella corretta pronuncia. Il percorso è ideale sia per principianti assoluti sia per chi desidera consolidare le proprie competenze di base, offrendo un approccio graduale e pratico all’apprendimento del tibetano.

Contenuti del Corso:

- Alfabeto tibetano e pronuncia

- Come scrivere ogni sillaba: gli studenti impareranno la costruzione delle sillabe tibetane, dalle forme di base alle combinazioni più comuni con esercitazioni pratiche.

- La translitterazione: verranno introdotti i principali metodi di translitterazione, utili per la lettura e la comprensione dei testi tibetani anche in caratteri latini.

- Vocabolario essenziale: arricchimento lessicale con le parole più utilizzate, indispensabili per la comunicazione quotidiana e per affrontare testi semplici.

- Termini utili per gli studenti di Sowa Rigpa: focus sui termini tecnici legati alla medicina tibetana, per chi intende approfondire questa disciplina tradizionale.

Il corso è strutturato in lezioni progressive che guidano passo dopo passo nell’apprendimento, dalla scoperta delle origini della lingua alle prime esercitazioni pratiche di scrittura. Al termine del modulo, gli studenti saranno in grado di riconoscere e scrivere l’alfabeto tibetano, leggere semplici parole e frasi e disporranno di un piccolo vocabolario di base, utile anche per percorsi di studio in ambito Sowa Rigpa.

ROBERTO RUSTICI

Roberto Rustici began practicing the Dharma in 1995 at the Rabten Ghe Pel Ling Buddhist Center in Milan; after completing his studies at the Institute of Oriental Languages (ISMEO) and earning a degree in Tibetan language and culture, he worked as a translator at the center’s Tibetan medicine clinic until 2001. He subsequently moved to India for a few years, immersing himself completely in Tibetan culture at Sera-Je Monastery and later in Dharamsala. For the past fifteen years, he has been translating for Ngakpa Machig Rinpoche and, occasionally, for other masters visiting Italy. In 2012, he met Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, thus beginning his practice of Yuthok Nyingthik. He currently teaches yoga, meditation, and Nejang; he practices Tibetan KuNye massage and external therapies according to Dr. Nida’s teachings at the Jayasiddhi studio in Lucca.

Songtsen Gampo is the forefather of Buddhism in Tibet. Two generations before King Trisong Detsen invited Shantarakshita and Padmasambhava to Tibet, King Songtsen Gampo cultivated the nation for its transformation, clearing pathways for the dharma to enter and ultimately permeate Tibetan culture. Without Songsten Gampo there would be no Tibetan alphabet, Lhasa would have no Jokang, and the supreme demoness of Central Tibet might still be roaming the earth unfettered.

Songtsen Gampo reigned from 617 to 650. His Yarlung dynasty was based in Central Tibet during an imperialist period in Tibetan history. Bön was the dominant religion, and Buddhism was only seminally present. No Tibetan translations of the Buddhist scriptures existed, partially because there was no written form of Tibetan, so Songsten Gampo instructed his minister Thonmi Sambota to travel to India, study Sanskrit, and develop a Tibetan script. He then commissioned the translation of several thousand texts.

His celebrated successes in battle expanded the Tibetan empire deep into Nepal and China, and it was during these battles that he gained an appreciation of the neighbouring cultures. As a reminder of the great empire that Songtsen Gampo ruled, a large pillar still stands before the Potala palace in Lhasa, erected during his reign, on which is inscribed the agreement between the Tibetan and Chinese rulers to respect each other’s borders. He studied Chinese, became skilled in the art of leadership, and most importantly, he adopted sacred codes of conduct from Buddhist scripture. Under his rule, sacred practices began to replace the shamanistic practices of the Bönpos.

Songtsen Gampo’s two queens can be credited for a great part of his cultural awareness. Bhirkuti, from Kathmandu, brought the traditions of Himalayan Buddhism. Princess Wengchin, daughter of the Tang emperor, brought a treasure trove of ancient Chinese wisdom. She travelled across the steppes to her husband with a collection of Chinese classic literature and texts on sacred astrology, geomancy, and medicine.

Many obstacles lay in Princess Wengchin’s path as she headed to Yarlung. She had a vision of a gargantuan demoness who lay sprawled across the Himalayas, so large that one limb lay in Paro, Bhutan and another lay in Western Tibet. When she arrived in Yarlung, she shared her vision with her new husband. Recognizing the value of the treasures that his bride brought to him, as well as the importance of her vision, King Songsten Gampo commissioned thirteen demoness-subjugating temples across the land, built over the demoness’s vital organs, ankles, wrists, and torso, forever binding her from wreaking havoc. The Lhasa Jokang was built over her heart centre, and Wengchin’s Buddha statue was placed inside, where it still resides. Other such temples are Trenduk Lhakhang in Tsetang and Paro Kyichu in Bhutan.

King Songtsen Gampo is considered a human emanation of Avalokiteshvara, and he was the grandfather of King Trisong Detsen. Songtsen Gampo meditated for several years in a cave that is now at the core of Potala palace, and is revered for his great patronage of Buddhism.

Through his enlightened leadership, the path was cleared for the dharma to be propagated throughout the provinces, and for Buddhism to flourish.

Terma (Tibetan: གཏེར་མ་, Wylie: gter ma; "hidden treasure") are various forms of hidden teachings that are key to Vajrayana or Tibetan Buddhist and Bon religious traditions. The belief is that these teachings were originally esoterically hidden by various adepts such as Padmasambhava and dakini such as Yeshe Tsogyal (consorts) during the 8th century, for future discovery at auspicious times by other adepts, who are known as tertöns. As such, terma represent a tradition of continuous revelation in Vajrayana or Tibetan Buddhism. Termas are a part of tantric literature.
1. Terma Tradition

Tradition holds that terma may be a physical object such as a text or ritual implement that is buried in the ground (or earth), hidden in a rock or crystal, secreted in a herb, or a tree, hidden in a lake (or water), or hidden in the sky (space). Though a literal understanding of terma is "hidden treasure", and sometimes refers to objects that are hidden away, the teachings associated should be understood as being 'concealed within the mind of the guru', that is, the true place of concealment is in the tertön's nature or essence of mind. If the concealed or encoded teaching or object is a text, it is often written in dakini script, a non-human type of code or writing that only a tertön can decipher.
In this way, one may see the tradition of terma and tertön as analogous to that of inspiration and providing a legitimate cultural forum to ensure continuation of tantric tradition, and ensuring Tibetan Buddhism's and Bön's continued relevancy in an evolving world.

The terma tradition is particularly prevalent in, and significant to, the Nyingma lineage. Two of the most famous tertön in the 20th century, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (2nd Dudjom Rinpoche) and Dilgo Khyentse, were Nyingmapa. Tertön are also prevalent in Bön traditions and a few tertön have been Kagyupa.

Padmasambhava and his principal consorts and disciples secreted away and hid religious texts, ritual objects and relics etc., to secure and protect Buddhism during the time of decline under Langdarma. Some of these terma have been rediscovered and special terma lineages established throughout Tibet as a result. Out of this activity developed, especially within the Nyingma tradition, two ways of dharma transmission: the so-called "long oral transmission" from teacher to student in unbroken disciplic lineages, and the "short transmission" of terma. The foremost revealers of these terma were the Five Terton Kings and the Eight Lingpas. In the 19th century, some of the most famous were the Khenkong Choksum referring to Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, Jamgon Kongtrul and Orgyen Chokgyur Lingpa.

Terma have been relayed by nāga and the dakini - of the underworld and the heavens, respectively - and have also been hidden by teachers such as the great translator Longchenpa. Sometimes terma are discovered by a master and reconcealed for a later tertön to find. (Encyclopedia: From Scholars for Scholars)
