Dzogchen (རྫོགས་ཆེན་)

rdzogs – perfection/completion
chen – great

The Rainbow Spectrum represents the "five pure lights," symbolizing the radiant nature of the mind.

The central character "A" (ཨ) signifies the primordial state, non-duality, and the unborn nature of reality.

Gang Rinpoche (གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ།) in Tibetan.

Gang Ti-sé (གངས་ཏི་རྩེ།) in Zhangzhung meaning ‘water peak’.

Gang Rinpoche is one of the most sacred mountains in Ngari, Tibet, venerated across Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, Hinduism, and Jainism.

布达拉宫十七世纪壁画。一直以来，我深深着迷于这个历史故事：吐蕃第八代赞普止贡赞普，在强迫部下与他比武时，不慎挥剑砍断了头顶的“穆绳”（དམུ་ཐག ），战败而亡，无法归天，遗骸留在了人间。他的王朝就此终结。

这是一个故事，也是一个隐喻。

那致命的一击并非来自外敌，而是身为“天神之子”的赞普自己，在傲慢、猜忌与混乱之中，将利刃挥向了守护先祖荣光的“穆绳”。他砍断了传承七代赞普的天绳，也砍断了王统延续的秩序，坠入断裂的深渊。多年后，他的儿子在历经人间磨难后复仇，方才恢复王朝，那是后话。

这个故事属于历史。这个隐喻，与今天有关。

每个人都有自己的天绳。一个民族也有自己的天绳。在命运的关键时刻，如果“穆绳”是因内部的撕裂，被自己挥刀砍断，那么从此以后，将再也无法返回家园。

Sakya Legshé (ས་སྐྱ་ལེགས་བཤད་), or The Treasury of Good Advice, is one of the great classics of Tibetan Literature composed by the scholar Sakya Paṇḍita in the 13th century.

The text consists of poetic aphorisms and witty verses that emphasize wisdom, moral values, and ethics.

Tibetan calligraphy is an important part of Tibetan cultural art. In the 7th century AD, during the reign of Songtsen Gampo, the Tsampo (king) of the Tibetan Empire, his minister Thonmi Sambhota built upon the existing script and, drawing on the strengths of various ancient Indian writing systems while integrating Tibetan culture, created the refined Tibetan script still in use today. Following this, eight great calligraphers emerged, forming eight major calligraphic schools. The calligrapher Chungbu Yuchi scientifically standardized the "Uchen" script, which later became the most widely used typeface and came to be known as "Chungchi."

藏文书法是藏族文化艺术的重要组成部分，公元七世纪，吐蕃赞普松赞干布时期，大臣吞米·桑普扎在原有文字的基础上,吸纳古印度不同文字的优点,结合藏族文化,创造了完善的现用藏文字,随后出现了八大书法家,形成了八大书法体系。书法家琼布玉赤对“乌钦”字书法进行了科学的规范,后来成为最广泛使用的字体，被称之为“琼赤”。

About 80% of the Kangyur has been translated into English, with the Tengyur expected to be completed by 2110.

These major Buddhist canons, preserving important sections of human knowledge, exist only in Tibetan language.
