Kham Tibetology Research Association of Ganzi Prefecture
by Wu Bangfu
21 June 1999
Today, Genqiu Dengzi (Kunchok Tenzin) told me that, in Kangding, they are preparing the establishment of Kham Tibetology Research Association of Ganzi Prefecture. They have already drawn up the rules, regulations, goals of the association, and handed the proposal for the establishment of the association to the government. The answer of the government is YES although they haven't yet got it in writing.
This association will be managed by Genqiu Dengzi's unit (the Library Administrative Bureau) temporarily. The expenses of the association must be raised by itself and the government will not give the association any money. The purpose of the association is to do research, improve Tibetology in Ganzi Prefecture, organize Tibetologists in Ganzi Prefecture to have conferences, publish collections of academic theses, promote cultural exchange with outside, and publicize Kham culture in cooperation with the tourism industry in Ganzi Prefecture.
They plan to organize Tibetologists in Ganzi prefecture to have a conference every two years, if they can raise enough money, they will also invite the Tibetologists at home and abroad to join the conferences.
Every year, they will publish a high-quality collection of academic theses.
This organization is willing to collaborate with individuals and organizations all over the world who are interested in Tibetology. The staff of the Kham Tibetology Research Organization of Ganzi Prefecture is:
- Denba Daji (Denba Dargye), a well-known Tibetan businessman.
- Duojie Zaxi (Dorje Tashi), a rinpoche; he runs an orphanage and a Buddhist college in Tagong.
- three others
Peace!
