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.

Gaden Tripa

The 103rd Gaden Tripa Jetsun Lobsang Tenzin Rinpoche died in a Delhi hospital following an illness. He was appointed Gaden Tripa, the spiritual head of the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism, by HH the Dalai Lama last October. He was born in Tibet in 1937 and followed His Holiness into exile in 1959. The Gelug school was founded by Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), the first Ganden Tripa.
