ཐམས་ཅད་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ pronunciation

Post by kirtu »

From the homage:
སངས་རྒྱས་དང་བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་ཐམས་ཅད་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ
The Wylie I have is Andreas Kretschmar's from his translation of Khenpo Kunpal's commentary:

sangs-rgyas dang byang-chub-sems-dpa’ thams-cad la phyag-’tshal-lo

So I'm trying to work out the bolded and underlined pronounciation:
tham chay la chag tsal lo

with all the a's being soft German a's.
Is this correct?

Thanks!

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Well, pronunciation differs per valley but

Tham is soft a
Chay is more like che
La is soft a
Chak is soft a
Tsal is a umlaut.

Transliteration is incredibly hard and dependent on who said what and what language you speak. Of course, it is still much easier than understanding anything but you get my drift.
