Tibet in 49 Seconds

We on The Tibet Connection team are committed to the idea that knowledge leads to understanding, and that sharing that knowledge is an important service. In that spirit, we present our education series, with audio of discussions and talks that we feel further Tibetan-Chinese understanding. We plan to post more in the future. If you have an idea of where we can acquire audio to a lecture you feel has helped you to understand the issue of Tibet on a deeper level, please contact us.
