Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Over 700 Buddhist monks from 27 monasteries have gathered at Ragya monastery in Golog in northwestern China’s Qinghai province for the 21st seven-day Jang Gunchoe, or annual Winter Teachings. Radio Free Asia reports there is a “subdued atmosphere” due to “unprecedented” Chinese security restrictions. Attendees are primarily monks, with very few lay people taking part.
