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.
Demolition work at the Larung Gar Buddhist Academy in Sichuan has been temporarily halted for the winter, however the destruction of monastic dwellings is scheduled to resume in April.

Thousands of monks and nuns have been expelled and many are living in temporary accommodation.
