Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

Geshema Exams

May 2, 2016;

Examinations for the Geshema degree are underway at Gaden Choeling Nunnery in McLeod Ganj. The first ever batch of 20 nuns are taking the fourth and final exam. 44 nuns from four nunneries are taking part; the 12-day session includes oral (debate) and written examination. This historic examination process was initiated following His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s call in 1995 for the need for the Geshema degree to be available for nuns.
