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 siddha Nadapada (also known as Naropa) taught Kalachakra to Khacho Dawa, who in turn, went to Tibet three times and taught it to Dro Lotsawa Sherab Drak, who translated the Kalachakra Tantra into Tibetan. He in turn gave the tantra’s reading transmission and oral instructions to Lhaje Gompa Konchok Sung. The lineage was later transmitted through the Jonang mahasiddhas such as Yulmowa Mikyö Dorje, All-knowing Dolpopa, Jetsun Tararatha, and others. Later, this lineage was passed down to the vidyadhara Tsewang Norbu and the 8th Tai Situ Rinpoche, All-knowing Situ Chökyi Jungne . Later, the 14th Karmapa Thekchok Dorje received it and taught it to Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye the Great. At that point the lineage of the supreme empowerment portion of the Kalachakra empowerment became different because Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye received that from the 9th Tai Situ, Padma Nyinche Wangpo.
