Since losing our country, the preservation of our language and culture has been one of the most critical areas of focus for Tibetans, both inside Tibet and in exile. Numerous individuals and institutes have worked extremely hard in this matter. Especially in Tibet, people risk their lives by raising their voices to save Tibet’s unique language and culture, through writing, songs and peaceful protests. Lha also believes that it is exceptionally important for us to preserve our language and culture. Hence, we have set up several projects over the years to contribute to the preservation and promotion of our language and culture.
On November 5th 2014, on the occasion of His Eminence Prof Samdhong Rinpoche’s 75th birthday celebration, Lha launched a bilingual website www.samdhongrinpoche.com with the aim of contributing to the preservation of Tibet’s language, culture and heritage. Written works, speeches, audio recordings and videos by His Eminence Prof Samdhong Rinpoche were collected in Tibetan, English, and Hindi. 
This content covered many subject matters and was uploaded to the website. People from all over the world have expressed their appreciation and said that they value the information highly, including people from Tibet, the Indian subcontinent and abroad. It goes without saying that providing access to His Eminence’s wisdom benefits many people. Judging by the ever-increasing number of users of the website, many thousands of people daily view, listen to and read His Eminence Rinpoche’s writings and speeches. This provides us great inspiration and encouragement to continue to advance this program. Therefore, we are delighted to present all of the Rinpoche’s work for the benefit of people throughout the world, particularly Tibetans, in and outside of Tibet, who are interested in learning and have a high regard for the Rinpoche’s works.
Prof Samdhong Rinpoche’s resources can be found in English, Tibetan and Hindi. They can be accessed on the website in written, audio and video media. To ensure a qualified posting of the Rinpoche’s writings, speeches, and events, we have requested Dr Tenzin Dhonyoe, Rinpoche’s respected Personal Secretary, to check all the published material. He is very familiar with Rinpoche’s thinking and in addition Mr Upasaka Dhawa Dhondup (Acharya), the simultaneous English language translator at Rinpoche’s public teachings, assists with guidance and verification. They have generously agreed to our requests, and have now been with the website since its launch. We are extremely grateful for their support. Since the inception of the Rinpoche’s website, we have published 591 articles in Tibetan, 131 articles in English, 160 videos on the YouTube channel and 921 tracks of audio speeches on SoundCloud.
In the same year, 2014, Lha published a Felicitation Volume expressing gratitude to His Eminence Professor Samdhong Rinpoche. Seventy-five articles were contributed to this volume by prominent institutions, scholars, students and writers to express gratitude for the Rinpoche’s lifelong selfless dedication to Tibet and world peace. Five hundred copies of the 300-page Felicitation Volume were distributed free of charge.
In 2016, to celebrate the Rinpoche’s 77th birthday, we published 300 free copies of the book Collected Works of His Eminence Professor Samdhong Rinpoche. The Collected Works, comprising His Eminence’s speeches, writings and interviews, is a 500-page volume written in Tibetan.
Furthermore, Lha hosts a two-month special Tibetan language classes for school children during their winter holiday and these are available free of charge to any Tibetan who wishes to improve their Tibetan language.
We also have a daily Tibetan class which is being attended by adult Tibetans who want to learn to read or write in Tibetan. The attendance for our daily Tibetan class falls on average of ten students throughout the year.
In June 2017, Lha organized a three-month intensive Advanced Tibetan Language class especially aimed for Tibetan people working in different Tibetan NGOs and institutes. Thus, it was arranged after office hour. Thirty eight people registered for the class and the majority came regularly.
As a part of preserving Tibetan language, Lha manages following websites in Tibetan language:
