Sukkha-vipassako
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.

Sukkha-vipassako: those who develop just enough tranquility and discernment to act as a basis for advancing to liberating insight and who thus attain nibbāna having mastered only āsavakkhaya-ñāṇa, the knowledge that does away with the fermentation of defilement.
To explain sukkha-vipassako (those who develop insight more than tranquility): Vipassanā (liberating insight) and āsavakkhaya-ñāṇa (the awareness that does away with the fermentation of defilement) differ only in name. In actuality they refer to the same thing, the only difference being that Vipassanā refers to the beginning stage of insight, and āsavakkhaya-ñāṇa to the final stage: clear and true comprehension of the four Noble Truths.
