Conservator of Tibetan Treasure:
A talk by the Director of the Library of Tibetan Works & Archives (Dharamsala, India)
Geshe Lhakdor has served as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s Translator, and as Archivist and Director of the internationally renown Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, India for many years. He has thus been the curator and steward of many of the most precious and ancient treasures from Tibet, including rare sacred texts, Buddhist relics and ritual objects, art and artifacts. He will speak about the important objects in the Archive’s collections, and of the Tibetan artistic and philosophical meaning they hold for Tibetan culture and its contribution towards human flourishing and wellbeing. He earned his Geshe title, the Tibetan Buddhist academic degree equivalent to Phd, from Drepung Loseling Monastery in India.
