This Dharma language, by the kindful Thonmi, truly is
The greatest lamp that lights up The Sacred Truth vividly.
Gifted with reasons, the one who meets this will have found
The Mirror reflecting the other shore of perfect qualities.
If proper care given to the smallest of things
Is the only genuine way of practicing,
Then to have this language, a treasure to Practitioners
Treated in the most respectful, cherishing manner,
Is a conduct that needs no mentioning!
So noble ones, whether teaching, learning or translating,
Have care for this like for your own well-being
Since to benefit us, this was compassionately made,
By The Wise Ones of unfathomable wisdom, love and grace.
The same way medical terms are created for doctors,
To the "job" of a practitioner that is
To listen, contemplate and cultivate,
Only this language, embedded with the truth of all
Can be the right instrument to serve.
What this does, no others can measure.
Thus, to let this fade out then fully gone,
For those who seek the Truth, is a tragic loss.
Understanding this, we put our hearts and our souls
Into working to convey, retrieve and preserve
This precious gift, the blessing of Protectors,
So that it stays as long as time and as space
This, is our pledge to all sentient beings today!
We are, as of now, offering three up-and-running study areas and preparing for another three. Learners shall firstly approach the language through the "Alphabet" Section and then perfect their reading skill with the practices provided in the "After Alphabet". The next thing to do is to put such fluent reading capacity into daily conversations taught in the "Colloquial" lessons while gaining better understanding of this precious Dharma language through Grammar currently publicly taught and soon, the expansions brought forth in our "Discovery".
In the very near future, our "Translation" Section with Translation Training and Translated Works will offer Learners a wide playing field to put to test their grasp of the language so that through deep and profound insight of it, they can refine their view and practice. Such, if done with care and respect, this precious Dharma Language will have been let to fulfill its destiny, the destiny of aiding Practitioners on the path towards the great perfection.
