Palyul
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.

Palyul is one of the Six Mother Monasteries of The Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Founded in 1665 by Rigdzen Kunzang Sherab in Derge, on the eastern edge of Tibet, the Monastery is the seat of the Nam Cho Terma of Terton Migyur Dorje. Penor Rinpoche was the 11th throne holder of The Palyul Lineage. Upon his Death in March, 2009, Karma Kuchen Rinpoche became the 12th throne holder.
