Collection of Praises

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.

Collection of Praises (Tib. བསྟོད་ཚོགས་, Wyl. bstod tshogs) - One of the main categories of Nagarjuna's writings.

Towards the end of his life, acting on advice from Tara, Nagarjuna returned to Southern India and dwelt at a place called Mount Splendour, where he gave extensive teachings on both the Sutras and Tantras, and composed many more texts. These writings, known as the Collection of Praises, are likened to Buddha's third turning of the Wheel of Dharma.
