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.

Mahasiddha Zoghipa… Yogipa / Jogipa (dzo gi pa): “The Candali Pilgrim”
Yogipa was from Odantapuri of the candela caste, and his guru was Savaripa.
Although he made great effort, he still had little wisdom.
One day, his guru came to him and initiated him into Hevajra with instructions for the Developing Stage and the Perfection Stage, then sent him off to meditate.
However, Yogipa was still unable to understand the meaning of the instructions, so he went back to his guru to express his concern, and made a request to perform meritorious acts by just using body and speech.
So his guru taught him the recitation of Vajra-Heruka and told him to consummate his practice by going to the 24 great places.
Yogipa practiced diligently for 12 years, and eventually purified the stains and obtained the siddhi of Mahamudra.
For 5 years he aided the various purposes of living beings, and then went to the realm of the Dakas in this very body.
