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 Chinese authorities have announced that Larung Gar, the prestigious Buddhist academy that has been partially demolished with its population of monks and nuns drastically reduced, will be run by the local Communist Party. This will replace the previous admiminstration under a committee composed of ten highly learned abbots. The former world renowned centre of learning is reported as being turned into a tourist attraction.
