Tham Sang Triangle
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.

The Tham Sang Triangle refer to a group of four caves in close proximity, located roughly 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Vang Vieng, Laos, to the northwest of the village of Ban Pakpo.
The four caves are Tham Sang, Tham Hoi, Tham Loup, and Tham Nam.
The name "Tham Sang" refers to the stalactites within them which are said to resemble elephants, a characteristic in particular of the Tham Sang cave.
The entrance has a grey boulder on the right side with a red flower bush beyond that.
Tham Hoi is considered the most sacred to locals, with a larger Buddha head in the entrance, whilst Tham Loup is noted for its stalactites.
Tham Nam, meaning "water cave", is located roughly 400 metres (1,300 ft) south of Tham Hoi.
