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.

Annotations on "The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra," The
法華玄義釈籤 (Chin Fa-hua-hsüan-i-shih-ch’ien; Jpn Hokke-gengi-shaku-sen )
A detailed commentary in ten volumes by Miao-lo (711-782) on The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra, one of T'ient'ai's three major works. It is Miao-lo's compilation of his lectures and his answers to questions on The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra. In this writing, Miao-lo clarifies T'ient'ai's teachings in terms of both theory and practice, and establishes the principle of "ten non-dualities" or "ten onenesses." In the tradition of T'ient'ai, he reiterates the supremacy of the Lotus Sutra, refuting the views of the Flower Garland (Chin Hua-yen) and Dharma Characteristics (Fa-hsiang) schools that flourished in his time.
