DMU Tibetan Translators Course, Spring 2006

For information on joining the online translation course at Diamond Mountain University, please see our webcast instruction page.

Dates: October 6-November 3, 2006 Days: Mondays and Fridays Times: 5:30-7:30pm, USA-Arizona Time (see Fixed World Time Clock (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html))

Please be aware that at the beginning of fall, the time in Arizona is the same as on the west coast and three hours earlier than the east coast of the United States. So when it's 5:30 here, it's 8:30 in New York and 5:30 in California. When the country moves to standard time, Arizona time doesn't change, which means that when it's 5:30 here, it'll be 7:30 in New York and 4:30 in California.

Root texts & translations

Uma Chidun translation (http://www.dmes.org/TibTrans/UmaChidun.rtf) (as of the end of class on October 23, 2006)

Uma La Jukpa root text (http://www.dmes.org/TibTrans/UmaLaJukpa.rtf)

Note: On February 3, Geshe-la used a transliteration program to convert from the ACIP transliteration into the Tibetan Machine Web font. So there is some text in here that's actual tibetan script, if you have the right font installed. You can find the Tibetan Machine Web font here (http://www.thdl.org/tools/tmw.html). There are two versions - one for Windows and one for Mac. The Windows font also works on Linux; I haven't tried the Mac font on Linux. I think that MS Word on either Windows or Mac will work with this file. OpenOffice Writer 2 doesn't work with it - it gets it mostly right, but a few characters are rendered as really big roman characters. So I recommend AbiWord (http://www.abisource.com) instead - as far as I can tell it renders it flawlessly. Wicked psych!
