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.

This Sakya lama is the third of the Five Superiors of the Sakya Tradition. His father was Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, and mother was Jomo machig Od-dron. As a young child Jetsun Drakpa Gyeltsen spent time in solitude, was free of worldly desires, diligent in practicing virtuous qualities, and was free of childish conduct.

His principal teachers were his father Sachen Kunga Nyingpo, and his eldest brother, Sonam Tsemo. He received many teachings of the three baskets and the Four classes of Tantra from many Tibetan, Indian and Nepalese teachers.
Jetsun Drakpa Gyeltsen began teaching at the age of eleven, and taught the Twenty Vows and the extensive Hevajra Tantra to the astonishment of all, after his father passed away.
