bbbourq<p>I have been very interested in Tibetan Buddhism as of late and I recently learned how to recite the Seven Line Prayer as well as write it out accurately. I am so captured by the Tibetan script's beauty that I wanted to try my hand at it. This is one of the ume scripts called Tsugtong. I still need to learn to terminate the sentences properly.</p><p><a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/tibetan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tibetan</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/writingsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingsystem</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buddhism</span></a></p>
