Pronunciation of Phakchok
Please may someone give me the phonetic pronunciation of Rinpoche’s name, Phakchok. I don’t want to keep going through the course pronouncing it wrongly in my head each time I read it. Thank you.

Hi Katy!
I asked one of our translators, Oriane Lavole who teaches the Tibetan for Practitioners course about the correct pronunciation and meaning of Rinpoche’s name. Here is her response:
Kyab (protection) gön (lord) is an honorific title.
Phak means noble.
Chok means supreme.
Rinpoche means precious one or jewel, and it is a title given to realized masters or recognized reincarnations of such masters in the Tibetan tradition.You can find an audio recording of Oriane pronouncing Rinpoche’s name attached below.
Thank you! I hope this answers your question!
