Tibetan script for the Wylie transcriptions
The antidote—to be free from the suffering of samsara—you need to be free from delusion and karma; you need to be free from ignorance, the root of samsara. So you need to meditate on emptiness. That is what you need. Lama Zopa Rinpoche

The first is Lhag Sam Gyal. Lhag Sam means something like pure or good intention and gyal means victory.

The second Lha Dän Wang Chuk. The dictionary says lha dan means Lhasa or city of Lhasa. Wang is initiation or empowerment. And Chuk means rich.

I just started to learn Tibetan, so i cannot guarantee you this is wright.

Hello,
Can someone tell me the meaning of "Karma Jamyang Temphul".
I understand that "Karma" is from the Karma Kagyu lineage, "Jamyang" means Manjushri, but Temphul? i guess it's a variation of Tenphel/Tenpel? can you confirm this?
Thank you in advance :)

Lhaden Wangchuk is literally "Powerful one possessed of divinity" Forget about Lhasa.

"Tenpai Lhamo" is "Goddess of the Teaching" (for hoa 1065)

"Tempul" I'm not sure about ; "Tenphel" means "Spreader of Teachings" (Mr. Green)

Thanks for your reply.

Ok, no problem. It was only a suggestion from my side.
Dawa or moon is very female / yin and sun as acitve more male or yang.
That was the reason why i make that comment.
Nyima / sun is mostly used for males.

AFAIK in TIbetan culture Moon is male, and Sun is female.

Agree, in Bön we have His Holiness Lungtok Dawa Dhargyal Rinpoche and the late passed in Nirvana, H.H. the 33rd Menri Trizin Lungtok Tenpai Nyima Rinpoche.

The moon and sun side of Menri monastery. Both are very precious the sun and moon, born on a monday and sunday is also possible.
Born on monday, then the moon energy is running, according the calendar.

It means finally both is possible, that is what i did not doubt.
But it could be possible that dawa is also female and that is what i was thinking.

I based my comment also on the sun channel in yoga, which is masculine and deals with sun energy and moon energy is female here.
Possible that the female energy is dominant in a male body and vice versa, to be more precise.

LODRÖ RABTEN Wise One of the Perfect Teaching male

[ . . . ]
Hello,

Anyone with some free time to help me get the Tibetan and/or wylie for my name? I've tried searching posts and other places but what I've ended up with looks different than what is written down:

Könchok Lodrö Rabten (or is it supposed to be Rabteu?)
དཀོན་མཆོག་བློ་གྲོས་རབ་བྲཏན
dkon mchog blo gros rab bratan

Also, any guesses on what the first word is in "[something] of the Triple Gem"?

དཀོན་མཆོག་བློ་གྲོས་རབ་བརྟན་ (your handwritten certificate has the first two syllables contracted into དཀཽག)
Wylie: dkon mchog blo gros rab brtan
The first words of the translation are "steadfast intelligence".

The first words of the translation are "steadfast intelligence".

དཀོན་མཆོག་
= precious jewel; precious substance; treasure
བློ་གྲོས་ = intelligence, learned, wisdom
རབ་བརྟན་ = steadfast

Translation can be : Steadfast treasure of Wisdom

If not related to Wisdom
Steadfast precious intelligence
