Praise to Mañjughoṣa by Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa
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.

Svasti.
Your form is as beautiful as the glowing golden clouds of a fresh dawn,
Your speech as sweet as the melodious voice of the immortal lord,[1]
Your mind as deep as the great liquid treasury of the sea —
Mañjughoṣa, father of the victorious, I bow to you in homage.
To you, who for infinite aeons in infinite realms Strove boundlessly to listen to countless teachings From countless victorious ones, ultimately to become The lord of incomparable knowledge, I bow.
To you, who for as long as saṃsāra endures Will remain to safeguard all careworn beings, Peerless lord of compassion, undaunted By the great burdens of sentient beings, I bow.
Through setting down here, however inadequately, A mere droplet from the ocean of wondrous deeds Performed by the foremost bodhisattva in all realms For the sake of beings whose number is as vast as space,
May the venerable Mañjughoṣa always be a guide Revealing the supreme vehicle in every lifetime, and May he free the kind ones immersed in misery’s ocean So that all may come to resemble Mañjughoṣa himself.
