Realm of Boundless Empty Space
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.

Realm of Boundless Empty Space
空無辺処 (Skt Akashanantya-yatana; Jpn Kumuhen-jo)
Also, Akashanantya Realm, or Heaven of Boundless Empty Space. The first and the lowest of the four realms of the world of formlessness. Meditation leading to rebirth in this heaven is termed
meditation on the Realm of Boundless Empty Space. In this meditation, one becomes free from all thought of matter, meditating on the limitless space where no matter exists. The life span of beings in the Realm of Boundless Empty Space is said to be twenty thousand kalpas.
