  • Tibetan word of the day: མུ་

    མུ་

    permutation; possibility; boundary

    Spelling (jorlok; Tib. སྦྱོར་ཀློག་) and pronunciation:
    མུ་་ – ma zhabkyu mu
    mu

    We use this in Tibetan logic: mu sum, mu zhi. Three possibilities, Four possibilities
    Four Possibilities in the form of Questions:
    a) Is it possible that there is something that exists that is a table and also impermanent?
    b) Is it possible that there is something that exists that is not a table and also impermanent?
    c) Is it possible that there is something that exists that is a table and not impermanent?
    d) Is it possible that there is something that exists that is not a table and not impermanent?

    Geshe la encourages us to learn Tibetan to help gain deeper
    understanding of the teachings, and gain access to prayers and rituals that have not been translated. The Tibetan word of the day is offered to give regular exposure to Tibetan reading and vocabulary.
