On his paternal side, his family descends from the ancient Lhalung (lha lung) family, whose origins are traditionally traced to the ninth-century figure Lhalung Pelgyi Dorje (lha lung dpal gyi rdo rje, ninth century), disciple of Padmasambhava (pad+ma 'byung gnas) and assassin of King Langdarma (glang dar ma). In 1954 he established the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Institute (ITBCI) with Dardo Rinpoche (dar mdo rin po che). He worked on cultivating connections with the press to highlight the Tibet issue. He worked with Tharchin Babu (mthar phyin ba bu, 1890-1976), publisher of the popular Tibetan language newspaper Tibet Mirror (yul phyogs gsar 'gyur me long), to print stories in Tibetan that would be distributed in and outside of Tibet. For around one year Lhalungpa wrote and edited columns on issues related to Tibet, a subject which was considered too sensitive for coverage by the Indian press. He also had a close association with George Roerich, working with him on annotations of Tsongkhapa's Great Treatise on Tantra (snags rim chen mo) and translation into English of the Dunhuang Annals. Together, they co-authored Textbook of Colloquial Tibetan, which was first published in 1957 by the government of West Bengal; a second edition was released in 1972. Lhalungpa assisted Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark with anthropological research and also provided colloquial language instruction. He consulted and translated for Rene De Nebesky-Wojkowitz on work that was published as Oracles and Demons of Tibet in 1956. The author acknowledged Lhalungpa's contribution in his foreword. In 1956, Lhalungpa moved to New Delhi to serve as head of the Tibetan division of All India Radio, the national news service of India. In addition to his work at All India Radio, he was involved in the development of monasteries and secular schools within the exile communities as the various settlements began to take shape. In 1970, Lhalungpa emigrated to Canada, where he was offered a position at the University of British Columbia to teach Buddhist philosophy. After several years in Canada, he moved to the United States, where he continued his scholarship and also engaged with scholars and spiritual leaders from an array of traditions. Lobsang Phuntsok Lhalungpa died on April 29, 2008 as a result of internal injuries sustained in a car accident caused by a drunk driver). - https://treasuryoflives.org/biographies/view/Lobsang-Phuntsok-Lhalungpa/P1KG10060
