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.
Six nuns have received their Geshema degree – equivalent of a western PhD in Buddhist philosophy and the highest attainable academic qualification in the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism- from the Minister of Religion and Culture (Kalon) Ven Karma Gelek Yuthok at Dolma Ling Nunnery in Norbulinkga, Dharamshala. The nuns are the second batch ever to achieve Geshema, the first were awarded last year.
