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.
A new manual has been issued in the restive county of Driru in eastern Tibet. The manual lists prohibitions and requirements for Tibetans together with punishments for those who do not comply. Prohibitions include attending the Kalachakra initiations, singing songs praising the Dalai Lama, organising public talks and discussions, and monks and nuns from studying where they want. Punishments include political education and jail.
