Tashi Delek or Trashi Deleg ( Tibetan : བཀྲ་ ཤིས་ བདེ་ ལེགས ། , Wylie transcription : bkra shis bde legs ) is a Tibetan / Bhutanese greeting.

meaning

Tashi Delek translated into German means something like 'good luck', 'may you be well'. However, it is used as “good afternoon” or “hello”. The four Tibetan syllables bkra , shis , bde and legs each have a space of meaning that is auspicious: bkra means u. a. 'Beautiful, radiant, wonderful'; shis means u. a. 'Happiness, fortune, splendor, bliss'; bde means u. a. 'Pleasure, happiness, well-being, security, enjoyment, bliss'; legs means u. a. 'Thrive, prosperity, good, well, beautiful, tidy'. The stringing together of syllables with similar spaces of meaning is typical of the Tibetan language when a reinforcement of the expression is to be achieved. In this sense, the translation should be understood as “good luck” or “may you be well”.

use

This greeting is used by Buddhists all over the world. It is also often worn as an inscription on T-shirts. In 2008, the greeting was used on various textiles of the Free Tibet campaigns to show solidarity with Tibet.
