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.
7,000 dwellings have been demolished at Larung Gar Buddhist academy since 2001 in the Chinese government’s drive to reduce the number of residents there. A senior abbot has confirmed that over 4,800 nuns and monks have been expelled since 2016. The authorities say the project is targeting 4,320 dwellings for demolition, but give no explanation why more houses now said to have been destroyed.
