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.
Khensur Geshe Tashi Tsering, the former abbot of Gyudmey Monastery, has been awarded the Order of Australia medal “for services to Buddhism and to education”. Geshe Tashi Tsering, who resides in Queensland, Australia, is the second Tibetan to receive the honour which “recognises a group of outstanding Australians who have made a contribution to their community, to Australia globally or domestically”.
