- "In 1994, to assist in the integration of computer technology with traditional Tibetan scholarship, Rinpoche founded Nitartha international, a non-profit education corporation based in New York City. Nitartha uses computer technologies to support Tibetan studies and education, and preserves the ancient literature of Tibet in digital formats."[1]
- "Nitartha international was established to help preserve the rare texts and art of Asia, with a primary focus on Tibet. Our aim is not only to save these treasures, but also to make the living traditions of wisdom they embody available to the world community. Our main work is the preservation and reproduction of the endangered texts of the East, which are a great source of ancient wisdom that is relevant and beneficial for the modern mind. We primarily work with Tibetan texts using today's computer technology to accomplish our goals."[2]
- "Nitartha was established to help preserve the resources of Tibet´s educational heritage, the arts and sciences which arose from preserving ancient wisdom. The rich educational heritage of Tibet continues traditions of Asian scholarship and practical wisdom thousands of years old. These Tibetan sciences of mind and philosophies of practical action are endangered. Tibetan texts are being lost , along with the unique educational systems in which they are taught. In the Tibetan Education Support Project, Nitartha international is committed to the goal of marrying modern scholarship and personal computer technology to the essential core of the Tibetan educational traditions."[3]
