ཐུབ་རྣམས་སྡིག་པ་ཆུ་ཡིས་མི་འཁྲུ་ཞིང།།
འགྲོ་བའི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་ཕྱག་གིས་མི་སེལ་ལ།།
ཉིད་ཀྱི་རྟོགས་པ་གཞན་ལ་སྤོ་མིན་པས།།
ཆོས་ཉིད་བདེན་པ་བསྟན་པས་གྲོལ་བར་མཛད།
By water, the Buddhas cannot wash away non-virtue,
The suffering of others can’t be eliminated by the wiping of hand,
His own perception cannot be transferred to others,
By the showing of the truth of emptiness he has shown liberation.
SICGU Dhargey Publishing is the publishing branch of SICGU.
The primary purpose of SICGU Dhargey Publishing is to present Tibetan Buddhist scholarly material. In addition, we also strive to present a wide range of materials related to Tibetan culture and Buddhist values in general.
SICGU Dhargey Publishing presents translations of the classical texts of Tibetan Buddhism, focused primarily on study material utilized by students following the Geshe program at Sera Jey Monastic University, thus making this curriculum available to English speaking students of Buddhism for the first time. All of our study materials are bi-lingual, Tibetan-English, which offers students an opportunity to work with both vocabularies at once.
An important focus of SICGU Dhargey Publishing is classical Tibetan language and grammar. We are preparing Tibetan-English translations of the main Tibetan grammatical literature, to support and encourage precise translations of canonical literature.
Another segment of SICGU DhargeyPublishing is dedicated to presenting the essence of the Buddha Dharma in a manner accessible to contemporary students.
SICGU DhargeyPublishing also plans to publish biographical, historical, and cultural works as well other materials relevant to our mission.
SICGU Dhargey Publishing is also a publisher of children’s books that present the timeless values of Buddhist philosophy, making them accessible to readers of all levels.
“Blind faith is of not much benefit. You must study! I always emphasize this.
Monasteries and temples eventually should be learning centers and must carry some program for study!”
