3rd November - 29th December, 2015
8 Week
Nowadays, to have all the favourable external conditions to learn Tibetan is rare. It can be expensive, difficult to find good teachers and the right environment in which one can focus on their studies with full commitment.
Throughout the Azom Drodul Winter Programme, students have a comfortable environment, where everything is provided, to support their studies in a full immersion Tibetan Language programme.
The Tibetan language programme at Azom Monastery offers students an opportunity to learn colloquial spoken and written Tibetan (with an emphasis on dharma terminology). For eight weeks, students reside in the lay students’ centre of Azom Monastery (The Genyen Centre), nestled in the sacred hills of Dollu (near Pharping) on the edge of the Kathmandu valley.
We aim to provide our students with the peace and tranquillity that is conducive to serious study but with time for individual practice, reflection and to attend dharma teachings. We aim to provide a supportive and friendly environment, which both reflects the traditions of Tibetan monastic culture but that is appropriate for a modern studentship, in terms of learning methods and expectations. We provide excellent and experienced teachers, whose skill and enthusiasm work to support our students to fulfill their learning goals.
Daily classes (Monday to Friday):
- Language classes (Beginner/intermediate/ advanced colloquial).
- Jurmey Jamtso Rinpoche’s teachings on mind training (Recommended for Buddhist practitioners).
- Classical Tibetan grammar classes (optional; for intermediate and advanced students).
- Language partner sessions.
- Daily group meditation classes.
- Self‐study and reflection time.
