Dakini cypher
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.

dakini cypher; khandro cypher; This calligraphy is written in the hidden script and hidden language of the khandros (mKha’ gro – dakinis or sky-dancing ladies). The script upon which the calligraphy is based is a gTér – a visionary revelation.
Ngak’chang Rinpoche comments:
"The khandro principle is what provides the inspiration for realisation – the innate magical quality of the phenomenal world in all its limitless variety.
For women this can be perceived in male qualities – as method display.
This is called: seeing the world as the dance of the pawo. For men this can be perceived in female qualities – as wisdom display.
This is called: seeing the world as the dance of the khandro. Script of this variety is known as ton-dröl, which means ‘liberation through seeing’.
Through seeing this script our consciousness is ‘seeded’ with the cause of our eventual liberation."
Khandro Déchen continues:
"Ton-drö should be shown to everyone, everywhere; with the wish that the illusions of frustration, fear and fecklessness—which often characterise our experience—may evaporate into wisdom-space."
