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.
Gyaincain Norbu, the Chinese-appointed Panchen Lama, is reported by Chinese news agency Xinhua as having gained his Kachen degree – equivalent to a doctorate. He was appointed Panchen Lama after China kidnapped Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, the six year old recognised as the Panchen Lama by HH the Dalai Lama. The Panchen Lama is second only to HH the Dalai Lama as the most influential Tibetan Buddhist religious figure.
