Devayāna
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.

devayāna; (‘ the way of the gods’)
Also referred to as the ‘northern path’, one of three paths taken by the self, or its subtle body.
‘The path of the deva’, the way, in Hinduism, followed by the truly faithful after death, leading to the realization of Brahman. Less methodologically, it is the path of wisdom and spiritual knowledge - Devayāna. In Hindu literature, the "path of the gods", of those who attain faith and knowledge either in this life or hereafter. The path they follow leads eventually to complete absorption in brahman. devayāna : nt. the path to heaven; an air-ship.
