U Than
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.

U Thant was born in Burma in 1909, educated at Rangoon University and eventually become an educator, senior civil servant and diplomat. In 1962 he was elected Secretary-General of the United Nations, a post he held with distinction until his retirement in 1971. During his tenure, Thant won deep respect for his skill, his commitment and his seemingly imperturbable calm. He was a devout Buddhist and said that his daily practice of meditation helped him keep his balance in the face of the numerous crises he had to deal with and see the best way to resolve them. He died in 1974. U Thant was the first Buddhist in modern times to win international recognition and respect.
