Water Holder
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.

Water Holder; 持水 (Skt Jatimdhara; Jpn Jisui); A physician mentioned in the Golden Light Sutra. According to that sutra, he lived countless kalpas ago in the Middle Day of the Law of a Buddha named Treasure Excellence, during the reign of King Heavenly Unhindered Light who was a believer in the Buddha's teaching. Water Holder was well versed in medicine and healed various kinds of illnesses. When an epidemic swept the country, Water Holder was by then too old to provide treatment. Nevertheless, he taught his secret medical arts to his son, Water Carrier, who then used them to save the people in Water Holder's stead. See also Water Carrier.
