The Research & Translation Department provides vital services to the publication departments of the institution. It supports scholarly research in all fields of Tibetan thought.
The department is staffed by highly qualified resident Tibetan scholars who have graduated from traditional Tibetan monasteries and others who have trained in contemporary universities. The team also translates texts for the publication department and compiles translations of the daily Buddhist philosophy classes.
The Centre for Tibetan Studies is also managed by the department. It offers courses for the growing number of people interested in Tibetan language, culture and philosophy. Classes were first taught in 1971 and have grown steadily in scope and attendance ever since. The Centre’s work is an important aspect of the LTWA's efforts to both sustain and extend appreciation and understanding of Tibetan culture.
Classes in Tibetan language and philosophy are held six days a week. Two different courses run concurrently in each of the program. Language classes run three terms of three months each, while the duration of the philosophy courses depends on the texts that are being studied.
The academic year is 10 months long, from March to December each year. A class schedule is published annually by the department. Full term intensive courses in Tibetan language and literary appreciation are conducted every year.
Philosophy classes are taught by Geshes selected by the LTWA Board for their experience and good reputation. Their explanations are usually given in Tibetan and are translated into English by experienced interpreters. Classical Tibetan and Indian Buddhist texts are selected as the focus of study to provide first-hand knowledge of Buddhist philosophy, meditation, psychology and ethics. The student body typically includes Tibetan and foreign students including postgraduate scholars. Classes include meditation practice, lectures and discussion of texts and scriptures.
Language classes are taught by teachers fluent in both Tibetan and English. They cover spoken and written Tibetan, aspects of grammar and idiomatic speech, and are intended to equip students to study Tibetan culture and Buddhist thought. Colloquial and classical Tibetan are taught in advanced classes. Many of the texts used in the classes have been published by the LTWA. The class size average is 40 students. On the average students from more than 30 countries are registered for these courses.Education
