About

Geshe Monlam talks about his Monlam Grand Tibetan Dictionary, which he recently donated to the Library. At its core, the Monlam Grand Tibetan Dictionary Project represents a concerted effort to preserve and propagate the rich tapestry of Tibetan language and culture. By compiling a comprehensive repository of Tibetan vocabulary spanning 223 volumes, this ambitious project encapsulates the depth and diversity of Tibetan linguistic heritage contributed to by more than 150 scholars. From ancient scriptures to contemporary vernacular, every word meticulously catalogued serves as a testament to the resilience and vibrancy of Tibetan civilization. With advancements in digital technology and data accessibility, this monumental lexicon is poised to become an invaluable resource for researchers, linguists and scholars worldwide. Through digitization and online accessibility, the dictionary transcends geographical boundaries, fostering collaboration and exchange on a global scale.
