Dear Mary Jo

Personally, and using Tshig mDzod Chen Mo dictionary, I think
to Tshe brTan Kun brTse for your refuge name.
Tshe (pro : tse) for "life" and brTan (pro : ten) for "stable", "firm"
(brTan Po).
Thus, Tshe brTan is perhaps the same meaning that the more
popular Tshe Ring (pro : tsering), "long life".
Kun (pro : kun), is an emphatic term when preceding an verb or
an adjective, for "very", "completely" (Kun Tu) or "utterly", "fully"
(Kun Nas). And brTse (pron : tse) for "love" (brTse Ba).
So "Firm Life - All Loving" is perhaps the translation of your
refuge name.

Thierry.

Tibetan script when you were given it?
