The Dalai Lama on Friday released the new Tibetan Monlam Dictionary prepared by Monlam Tibetan IT Research Centre at the Tsuglakhang, the main Tibetan temple in McLeodganj. The online dictionary would help preserve the Tibetan language, said the Dalai Lama.
Sikyong Penpa Tsering of the Central Tibetan Administration applauded staff and contributors to the dictionary. He said, “The idea behind the creation of such projects originated from the constant advice and guidance from the Dalai Lama in general and particularly, the formation of Monlam Centre and its products was initially tabled by Geshe Monlam and his team under the direction of former Kalon Tripa Professor Samdhong Rinpoche and other revered high lamas of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and Yungdrung Bon.”
