Auspicious
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.

吉祥天 (Skt Shrimahadevior Mahashri; Jpn Kichijo-ten)
Originally a goddess of Indian mythology named Lakshmi, later incorporated into Buddhism. Auspicious is known as the goddess of fortune and beauty, and is said to bestow fortune and benefit on living beings. In Japan, prayers for peace and agricultural fertility were offered to the goddess. Some sources regard her as a daughter of theMother of Demon Children and the wife of Vaishravana, one of the four heavenly kings.
