One great reason
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.

one great reason
一大事 (Jpn ichidaiji )
Also, one great matter. The ultimate reason for a Buddha's appearance in the world, as expounded in the "Expedient Means" (second) chapter of the Lotus Sutra. In this chapter, Shakyamuni reveals that Buddhas make their advent for "one great reason," namely, to enable all people to attain the same enlightenment they have. Concerning this "one great reason," he goes on to say that Buddhas appear in the world in order to open the door of Buddha wisdom to all living beings, to show it to them, to cause them to awaken to it, and induce them to enter into it.
