Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone! 🙏🙏🙏
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

bhagavat
世尊 (Skt, Pali; Jpn seson )
One of the ten honorable titles of a Buddha.
Bhagavat means possessing fortune, venerable, or holy.
It is also applied to the names of deities.
In Buddhism, it is used as an epithet for a Buddha and is often translated as "blessed one."
In the Chinese versions of Buddhist scriptures, bhagavat is rendered as World-Honored One, indicating one who is revered as the most venerable in the world.
There are many different meanings: one who possesses auspicious signs, one who destroys illusions evil, one who is provided with such auspicious virtues of freedom as the law, fame, good signs, desire and diligence, one who has completely understood the Four Noble Truths, one who receives and keeps various excellent practices, one who has abandoned the wandering of transmigration.
