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.

Chiho
智鳳 (n.d.) ( Jpn; Kor Chipong)
A priest of the Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang; Jpn Hosso) school. Born in Silla, a state on the Korean Peninsula, he went to Japan while young and became known as Chiho. In 703, together with Japanese priests Chiran and Chiyu, he traveled to China and studied the Dharma Characteristics doctrine under Chih-chou. After returning to Japan, he settled at Gango-ji temple and propagated the Consciousness-Only doctrine. This is regarded as the third transmission of the Dharma Characteristics teachings to Japan.
