The first motto of Tibetan poetry is "the sa'jia motto", which is created by Sarbane in the 13 century. It has been dominanted by Tibetan Buddhism and led by the sight of Tibet's cultural, political and economic situation as well as writing from the traditional cultural charateristics.

Eurthermore, the Tibetan poetry were learned from the king on down to the administrations, from the country to the home, covering ethics, behavior and all aspects of life, to clarify the philosophy and the pursuit of life abstractly and visually. On the other hand, guadually on the content of the material, emotional and physiological shift reflect the level of spiritual and moral level. Poems that contain the essence of the understandings of human nature, the descriptions of the ideal society, the pursuits of the perfect realm of life has interpreted the meaning of "the true, the good and the beautiful" harmoniously. Finally, through the experience of the real-world critical pointing to the ultimate humanistic care on the person's spiritual, we can discuss the pursuit of the eternal people which is united, orederly and harmoniously to demonstrate the Buddhist realm.These mottoes have been writted the author's Buddhist thought and outlook on life perfectly, which is showing a sense of beauty for the combination of the shapes and qualities. So we can deeply been attracted by these proverbs which is full of charm and go down timelessly.
