དམ་པའི་དོན་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ཆེ་བ་དང་།
རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།
"Absolute Truth is not an object of analytical discourse or great discriminating wisdom,
It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."

Re: Tibetan Word of the Day
The Tibetan language has a lot of homonyms, so it may be better to provide the Wylie transciption as well.
For example:
sNod = vessel, container, environment
gNod = harm, damage, injure
For example:
sNod = vessel, container, environment
gNod = harm, damage, injure

Hi Sherab,
I'm sorry I'm not as familiar with the Tibetan language, but I invite you to take over the daily word if you would like
In the meantime:
CHI = Outer

Re: Tibetan Word of the Day
Hedewa is:
The state of a startled mind, It is a blank state of mind, without thoughts and without clarity. It has no self-discerning aspect. It is just blank. For example, when you have done a very heavy physical work and you just collaspe out of exhaustion, then your mind has no thoughts (or not very much) and is blank; however it completely lacks clarity.

Re: Tibetan Word of the Day
Greetings,
If I may, may I request a little series of "Tibetan Word of the Days" that address a lot of the words that appear in people's Dharma names?
I see a lot of Tibetan names that come in various combinations of the following words, and think it would be handy (even just in terms of understanding our friends' names) to know what they mean. The following come to mind...
Sherab
Dorje
Drolma
Karma
Norbu
Ngawang
Pema
Tashi
Wangchuk
etc.
Maitri,
Retro.

Shes pa
Functions both as a verb and as a noun. As a verb it basically means "to know", and given the context you can broaden the field of the translation by choosing "to conceptualize", and also sometimes "to understand", "to cognize", etc. As a noun, it basically means knowledge in the most ordinary sense of the word but, again, given the context, you may adapt the translation to "cognition", "learning", "science", even "recogntion", etc. Sometimes you also have it with the meaning of consciousness.

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." –Arundhati Roy
