Franziska Oertle

Franziska Oertle's passion and vocation is to teach Colloquial Tibetan as her small personal contribution to preserve the Tibetan culture and the dharma, trying to fulfill the wish of her main (Tibetan Buddhist) teacher His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Upon visiting SINI in January 2019, she was deeply inspired by the dedication of Tsering la, all monks and staff, non-human (four-legged) persons, the members of Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche's community and the peace and beauty of the Institute. Teaching Tibetan for foreigners at SINI helps build Bridges of Goodness. In this way, the monks are able to communicate with foreigners in their native tongue as well as English. Franziska is intent on making Tibetan language studies more widely available. For this purpose, she is currently co-developing an online Tibetan language course.
