On the Peaceful Practices of the Lotus Sutra
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.

On the Peaceful Practices of the Lotus Sutra
法華経安楽行義 (Chin Fa-hua-ching-an-lo-hsing-i; Jpn Hoke-kyo-anrakugyo-gi )
Also known as The Four Peaceful Practices.
A work authored by Nan-yüeh of China during the sixth century.
It explains practices set forth in the Lotus Sutra such as meditation on the true aspect of all phenomena, the reading and reciting of the sutra, and the four peaceful practices.
The four peaceful practices are those of
deeds,
words,
thoughts, and
vows
set forth in the "Peaceful Practices" (fourteenth) chapter of the sutra.
Nan-yüeh identifies the four peaceful practices as the basis for bodhisattva practice.
