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.

Vajra-paryanka-asana; (sometimes referred to as Padma-asana or Vajra-asana). The "adamantine throne" position, made with the legs crossed at the ankles, and both soles of the feet showing, pointed upward. This is
the posture used in meditation and it is most commonly used to depict the enlightened Buddha. The historical Buddha, once he is fully enlightened, will be represented in this posture when he is seated.
