Dharamshala: The Department of Education is organising a week-long dialectic meeting of Dharamshala and Mussorie from 23-30 August at the Tibetan Homes Foundation (THF) in Mussorie. Around 8 schools from Dharamshala and 7 schools from Mussorie are participating in this meeting.
The guests at the inaugural meeting held on Wednesday include Khenpo Jamyang Jinpa (Principal of Sakya College) led members of the administration committee of THF and the principal of THF.
Education officer Dr. Passang Dhondup of THF emphasised the joint efforts of the participants stressing the importance of the benefits of dialectic practice in academic subjects.
Khenpo Jamyang Jinpa spoke on the benefits of dialectic practice in daily life, particularly in the development of cognitive skills.
“The dialectic practice forms an integral part of the Tibetan religious identity and furthermore, it invariably serves in the preservation of the Tibetan language”, said the principal of the Sakya College.
“For sixty-long years in exile, His Holiness the Dalai Lama led religious heads and the older generation have contributed remarkably in the sustenance and preservation of Tibetan identity and now the continuance of this pursuit is the responsibility of the younger generation”, he added.
