Brief
History:
The
Library of Tibetan Works and Archives (LTWA) is a Tibetan library in
Dharamsala, India. The library was founded by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
in the year 1970 June 11 and is considered one of the most important libraries
and institutions of Tibetan works in the world.
The
library contains sources which were relocated from Tibet during the 1959
escape, including important Tibetan Buddhist manuscripts and Archives related
to Tibet’s history, politics, culture and even art.
The
Primary Objectives:
The
primary objective of the library is to provide a wide-range cultural resource
of the highest standard and to promote a milieu to facilitate research and the
exchange of knowledge.
It
was really fortunate for all the TCV School Chauntra Staff and students to get
to know about this unique organization from the General Secretary of Library of
Tibetan Works and Archives Mr. Nagwang Yeshi la. This year it was the 2nd visit
or book fair by Library of Tibetan Works and Archives. We would like to extend
our heartfelt thanks especially to Lowell Thomas and Lowell Thomas, JR. for
their exclusive and precious photos when journey into Tibet. In a nut shell the
book fair cum resource person talk was really a thought provoking and a
knowledgeable one. We would love to have some more of such kind of Photo
exhibition and book fair in the near future.
The
Library of Tibetan Works and Archives (LTWA) is a must visit for the book
lovers.
