Ushnishavijaya
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.

Ushnishavijaya (Tibetan: Namgyalma or Namgyelma): goddess of long-life.
Ushnishavijaya, the colour of an autumn moon; with three faces, white, yellow and blue and eight hands. Each face has three very large eyes.
The first right-hand holds a visvavajra, the second a white lotus with Amitabha residing, third an arrow and the fourth in supreme generosity.
The first left holds a vajra lasso, second a bow, third bestowing protection and fourth in meditative equipoise holding an auspicious nectar vase; complete with silks and jewel ornaments, seated in vajra posture.
Ushnishavijaya is often shown in a triumvirate with the other two principal long-life deities, red (male) Amitayus and White Tara.
