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.
The expulsion of 2,000 Tibetan monks and nuns living and studying at the Yachen Gar Buddhist Centre in Sichuan has started, along with the demolition of their residences. Until recently 10,000 monks, nuns and lay practioners lived and studied at Yachen Gar. Earlier this year 200 tents belonging to Tibetan pilgrims visiting the centre were demolished. Senior monks there have asked people to “exercise patience and tolerance”.
