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.

実相寺 Jisso-ji
A temple at Iwamoto in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Founded by Chiin in the mid-twelfth century, it belonged to the Tendai school.
In 1258 Nichiren visited this temple to do research in its sutra library in preparation for writing his treatise On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land.
At that time Nikko, who studied at nearby Shijuku-in, another Tendai temple across the Fuji River, had an opportunity to serve Nichiren at Jisso-ji and decided to become his disciple.
Jisso-ji later converted to the Nichiren school.
