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.

Tengboche Rinpoche (b. 1935) is the abbot of Tengboche Monastery, which is situated near Namche Bazaar in Nepal, at the foot of Mount Everest, and was founded by Lama Gulu in 1916. Rinpoche was born on the same day as His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1935 to a Sherpa Family in Namche Bazaar, and was soon recognised as the incarnation of Lama Gulu. He went to spend many years in Tibet for his education. He came back to Tengboche Monastery in 1956.
Rinpoche spends most of his time at his monastery where he helps local people and meets with trekkers. He rarely leaves his monastery. One of the main projects he has been working on for the past few years is the making of Tendrel Nyesel vases to help peace and harmony in the world, as well as to prevent natural disasters.
According to Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, Tengboche Rinpoche is incredibly learned for a yogi.
