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.
Russia is exploring meditation techniques with Tibetan Buddhist monks to see if meditation can be used to send astronauts into hibernation while on interplanetary travel. Going into hibernation would slow metabolism, reduce the amount of space needed for the astronauts, as well as food, and make their journey easier and less stressful than living for up to a year and a half in such cramped conditions.
