Funding the publication of work by HH the Dalai Lama

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has visited Mongolia several times since 1990, most recently in November 2002, each time drawing huge crowds of devotees. Many Mongolians are eager to read the Dalai Lama's teachings, and the Programme has funded the production of several books in Mongolian by and about the Dalai Lama. These include:
