TLI's Mission

The Tibetan Language Institute was founded on the belief that Tibetan language study is essential for the preservation of the Tibetan culture, a vibrant world heritage whose message is peace. On a more personal level, learning even a little Tibetan provides a deeply rewarding means for the individual Dharma practitioner to enrich Dharma study and practice. TLI strives to create opportunities wherein both goals can be realized.

The Tibetan Language Institute is a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit, non-sectarian in orientation.

What students have said about learning Tibetan with TLI

Your teaching is clear and straightforward, simple and feasible for a beginner. Your humor and anecdotes are fun, and crucial to keeping it interesting. This dharma language is inspiring, and a most refreshing change from a lifelong materially based language. It's a joy to learn and will continue so. --R.W. Albuquerque, NM

---------------------------

I am very grateful and rejoice for the existence of TLI and your dedication and commitment with those interested to learn the Tibetan language. Certainly, Levels I, II, and the Reading Courses are an excellent foundation to get the ability to read the language but also to get familiar with the words use in the sadhanas and other prayers. Being able to read the sadhanas with no transliteration and to follow the teachers when they are chanting fills my heart with so much joy! A.O., Puerto Rico

Thank you so much for your teachings and the enthusiasm you share with us. It is very contagious! E.T., Harrison, TN

I am able to read quite a lot now. I love the way David teaches, he's a fine teacher and a gentle man.  S.S., San Leandro, CA
