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.

Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia between Thailand and Vietnam and where about 95% of the people consider themselves Buddhists. Animism, Brahmanism and Mahāyāna were the main religions in Cambodia until Theravāda Buddhism became dominant during the 13th and 14th centuries mainly due to missionary Mon monks from Burma and Thailand. Cambodian Buddhism was severely disrupted by the communist regime of Pol Pot in the 1970’s when most monasteries were destroyed and monks were killed or fled abroad. Cambodia’s greatest ancient monument, Angkor Wat, is often said to be Buddhist. It is in fact Brahmanical, although it has been used as a Buddhist temple for several centuries.
