    Introduction

    T i betan bl ock-l etter scri pt (gzab ma), general l y known as the headed, dbu-can [pron: "u-chen"] scri pt, i s tradi ti onal l ywritten using a hand-made bamboo or reed pen cut at an angl e. A broad steel ni bbed i tal i c cal l i graphy pen may beused i nstead. Steel ni bbed cal l i graphi c pens desi gned for l eft-ha nded wri ters of Roman i tal i c scri pt are sl anted at asuitable angle for a right-handed pers on to use when wri ti ng the T i betan dbu-chan s c r i p t .

    at one end and bow-shaped at the other.

    Other strokes are executed proceedi ng from top to bottom and l eft to ri ght.

    Shoulder (dpung) strokes shoul d descend at an angl e, curvi ng from l eft to ri ght, starti ng thi n and i ncreasi ng i nt h i c k n e s s .

    Abdomi nal (sbo) cross strokes shoul d resembl e the bl ade of a curved kni fe or a crescent moon, thi ck i n themi ddl e and thi n at both ends.
