The Ven. Lhakdor-la, Geshe Lhakdor, has served His Holiness The Dalai Lama as his translator and religious assistant since 1989, accompanying him to numerous conferences and forums throughout the world. He has translated many important works from English to Tibetan and from Tibetan to English, and offers rare insight into the cultural and philosophical issues surrounding contemporary Buddhism. Reflecting the elite scholarly training tradition of his lineage, the title "Geshe" is the equivalent of a doctorate in Buddhist philosophy. Geshe Lhakdor has also been involved in the growing academic and institutional interest in Buddhism in the West. He is a trustee of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility, and Director of the Central Archive of the Dalai Lama. He currently serves as Director of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala, India.
