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.

Temple school
寺門派 ( Jpn Jimon-ha)
Also known as the Temple Order school. A branch of the Tendai school based at Onjo-ji temple in Otsu, Japan. The Temple ( Jimon) school traces its lineage from Chisho (814-891), the fifth chief priest of Enryaku-ji, the head temple of the Tendai school on Mount Hiei. Friction over doctrinal differences between priests in the line of Chisho and those in the line of the third chief priest Jikaku led to a violent dispute over succession after the death of Ryogen, the eighteenth chief priest of Enryaku-ji. In 993 the priests in Chi-sho's line left Enryaku-ji and established themselves at Onjo-ji, where Chi-sho had once been chief priest, founding the Temple school there. In contrast, the Tendai school of Mount Hiei was called the Mountain (Sammon) school.
