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.
Dr Yeshi Dhonden, the former personal physician to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and recipient of Padma Shri award, has retired aged 92. He fled Tibet in 1959 and became one of the founding members of Men Tsee Khang, the Tibetan Medical Institute, in Dharamshala. He was renowned for his treatment of cancer, practicing the Tibetan medicine Sowa-Rigpa, one of the oldest, living and well documented medical traditions of the world.
