Womb Realm
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.

Womb Realm
胎蔵界 (Skt garbhadhatu; Jpn taizo-kai )
Also, Womb World. A realm depicted in the Mahavairochana Sutra, a principal scripture of Esoteric Buddhism. In this realm, all compassionate actions leading to salvation are depicted as being born of and sustained by the fundamental principle of the universe, just as life is nurtured by and born from the womb. The Womb Realm thus represents the "repository of truth," or Dharma body of Mahavairochana Buddha, that is considered the source of all compassion. This term contrasts with the Diamond Realm, which represents the wisdom of Mahavairochana. The Womb Realm is represented graphically in Esoteric Buddhism by the Womb Realm mandala. Garbha of the Sanskrit name garbhadhatu means womb, embryo, or fetus, and dhatu means realm, world, or layer.
