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.

Vilasavajra; (Skt. Vilāsavajra; Tib. སྒེག་པའི་རྡོ་རྗེ་, Wyl. sgeg pa'i rdo rje) aka Lilavajra (Skt. Līlāvajra) or Lalitavajra was an 8th century Indian master, perhaps from Oddiyana, who wrote commentaries on Chanting the Names of Manjushri and the Guhyagarbha Tantra.
Among the students of Vilāsavajra, the most prominent were Buddhaguhya and Buddhajñanapada, who both studied the cycle of the Web of Magical Illusion.
