Age of quarrels and disputes
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.

age of quarrels and disputes
闘諍堅固 ( Jpn tojo-kengo )
Also, age of conflict. The last of the five five-hundred-year periods following Shakyamuni's death, which are described in the Great Collection Sutra. It corresponds to the beginning of the Latter Day of the Law. In the Great Collection Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha speaks to Bodhisattva Moon Storehouse about the first four of the five five-hundred-year periods following his death, and then says that, in the next five hundred years, quarrels and disputes will arise among the followers of his teachings, and that the pure Law will be obscured and lost.
