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.
The Purang stele, discovered in the Ngari prefecture in the north of the Tibet Autonomous Region, is believed to date from the ninth century and to be the oldest in the region. It is 1.85 meters tall and is inscribed with the image of a standing buddha with 24 lines of old Tibetan language on its left side and 19 lines of Buddhist prayers on its right.
