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.

New Museum

December 29, 2015;

A new museum dedicated to the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama has opened in Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in Bylakuppe, south India. Gyawa Yabsey Museum has evolved from a photo exhibition in 2009 which travelled around India and to America. The name Gyawa Yabsey Nyi [Great Father-Son Duo] alludes to the special relationship between the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama and the part they both play in recognising each other’s reincarnations.
