About Author
Acharya Naga joined the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives on August 1st 1991 as a member of its Research and Translation Bureau. One of the first project that was assigned to me by both Mr. Gyatsho Tshering. Director and Mr. Tsepak Rigzin the then head of the bureau was this small collection of quadrisyllabics and idioms. The Library felt that this type of book was needed for its language students therefore in 1980 LTWA obtained Mr. Jampa Choedak s initial collection of idioms from Mr.Pema Gyalpo. These idioms and phrases were added to the collection being prepared by Mr.Rigzin whose sources were derived from various Tibetan articles books most notably from His Holiness the Dalai Lama s public speeches. Having entrusted this project to me I worked in the sincerity of being able to motivate and aiding individuals who show a keen interest in the Tibetan Language be they Tibetans or Westerners.
