This course consists of a presentation of the so called dbu-can script (pronounced as ouchan) and of the classical Tibetan syntactic structure, as well as of an introduction to the various case particles. In addition, the students will learn the basic vocabulary and will do translation exercises in order to prepare to read classical texts.

Tibétain classique I : niveau élémentaire
Ce cours intensif a pour objectif d’initier les étudiants aux bases essentielles de la grammaire du tibétain classique. Il s’adresse en particulier à ceux et celles qui souhaitent avoir accès aux traductions tibétaines des paroles du Bouddha et des commentaires classiques indiens, ainsi qu’aux nombreux traités philosophiques et contemplatifs rédigés par des maîtres tibétains.
Le cours consiste en un exposé du système d’écriture dit dbu-can (prononcer ouchan), d’une présentation de la structure syntactique du tibétain classique, ainsi que d’une introduction aux diverses particules de déclinaison. Ceci sera supplémenté par l’apprentissage d’un vocabulaire de base et par des exercices de traduction qui prépareront l’étudiant(e) à la lecture de textes classiques.
This seminar, which will be led by Dylan Esler (Institut Orientaliste, Université catholique de Louvain) and will take place in Louvain-la-Neuve from January to May 2014, will be devoted to the reading and translation of Buddhist texts in classical Tibetan. The texts to be studied this year are the rGyal-sras lag-len (“37 Bodhisattva Practices”) of Thogs-med bzang-po, and the Bodhicaryāvatāra of Śāntideva in Tibetan translation, ch. 1 and 2.
This seminar is intended for students of Buddhism having already garnered a basic knowledge of classical Tibetan grammar. The seminar will enable them to deepen their knowledge of Tibetan grammar and Buddhist philosophy and to hone their skills in translating this type of texts.
Ce séminaire animé par Dylan Esler, chercheur à l’UCL (Institut Orientaliste), se déroulera à Louvain-la-Neuve de janvier à mai 2014 et consistera en la lecture et la traduction de textes bouddhiques en tibétain classique.
