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 shrine in the Jokhang Temple compound in Lhasa has been destroyed by fire. The fire was put out by the fire brigade and nobody was hurt, however some buildings, artefacts and sacred relics have been damaged. The cause of the fire is not known. The sacred Jokhang temple, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is undamaged; it was built by Tibetan Emperor Songtsen Gampo in the seventh century.
