"When Thume Sambota had created the script and grammar for the Tibetan language, king Songtsen Gampo arranged for numerous texts to be translated into the new language. This was the beginning of massive translation projects that lasted for several centuries. Through the new written language, knowledge and Dharma spread all over the country. For all of this the Tibetan people are deeply grateful to the distinguished scholar of Tibet, Thume Sambota. This is the beginning of an era when the red-faced warriors of Tibet were eventually transformed into peaceful Buddhists."
