Bestower of Fearlessness
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.

Bestower of Fearlessness
施無畏者 (Skt abhayam-dada; Jpn semui ﾭsha )
A title of Bodhisattva Perceiver of the World's Sounds. The "Perceiver of the World's Sounds" (twenty-fifth) chapter of the Lotus Sutra reads: "This
bodhisattva and mahasattva Perceiver of the World's Sounds can bestow fearlessness on those who are in fearful, pressing, or difficult
circumstances. That is why in this saha world everyone calls him Bestower of Fearlessness." The Sanskrit word abhayam-dada means one who gives fearlessness or safety.
