A free, no-sign-up guide to reading the Tibetan script and parsing Langri Tangpa’s Eight Verses of Training the Mind.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-28 issue.
For
Beginners studying Tibetan script or the Eight Verses
Worth noticing
Seven of the eight verses end in ཤོག (shok), presented as wishes rather than descriptions.

Field notes

The script track starts with letter families and vowel marks, then explains root letters and silent letters before offering four drills. The grammar track emphasizes Tibetan word order: the homepage says the main verb waits until the final line, which can make a word-by-word reading seem nonsensical in English order. It also gives transliteration and pronunciation so the verses can be followed without reading Tibetan script.
