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.

Jokhang Closed

February 22, 2018;

The Jokhang Temple in the Tibetan capital Lhasa has been closed for three days following the fire over the weekend in the temple compound, raising concerns about the extent of the damage. Reports are coming through that although the temple has been open since the fire, new drapes obscured some artefacts and the second floor was closed. There are reports that the Holy statue of Jowo Shakyamuni is intact.
