Tashi Delek!
Welcome to Lotsawa Rinchen Zangpo Translator Program (LRZTP), one of the leading schools in the formation of specialized interpreters and translators from Tibetan. Our approach to the vast Tibetan knowledge is both through a Western pedagogical system and traditional take on studying. This combination approach provides our students with the philosophical terminology as well as interpreting and translation skills required to start working as an interpreter in a Buddhist Dharma center or as a freelance Tibetan translator.
