As part of our community service, Lha also requests books and stationery donations from individuals and organizations around the world. We give them to Tibetan and Indian schools as well as other community libraries in the Dharamshala area. In addition, we own a community library where many of the donated books are given out on loan.

On November 5th 2016, on the 77th birthday of His Eminence Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, 500 copies of the 7th volume of the Collected Works of His Eminence Prof Samdhong Rinpoche were printed. It was published by the Lha Charitable Trust and handed out free of charge. From over the years, the book comprises Rinpoche’s speeches, writing and interviews. Earlier in 2014, Lha published 300 copies of the Felicitation Volume in gratitude to Rinpoche. We have also given away Rinpoche’s book on Tibetan Meditation. In 2008, Lha received 30,000 books from the United States through the Om Prakash Foundation. We gave these books to various Tibetan and Indian schools in and around the Dharamshala area. During last year’s World Story Telling Day, we gave away more than 1,000 children’s books at two of our educational workshops.

Under our Book Donaton Program, we have given away 34,340 books to both Tibetan and local Indian schools and libraries. In 2008, we partnered with the Om Prakash organisation to help with distribution of 250,000 children’s books shipped to India from America.
