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.

Chih-li
知礼 (960–1028) (PY Zhili; Jpn Chirei)
A priest of China, noted as a restorer of the T'ient'ai school. Also known as Ssu-ming Chih-li after his birthplace, Ssu-ming. At age twenty, he studied the T'ient'ai doctrines under I-t'ung. By that time, the T'ient'ai school had already split into two lineages: that of Ichi and that of Chih-yin. Chih-li, with Tsun-shih, succeeded to the lineage of Ichi and called their group the Mountain (Chin Shan-chia; Jpn Sange) school to show that it was within the orthodox stream of the school of Mount T'ient'ai where the founder T'ient'ai had lived. Chih-li wrote several commentaries including The Essentials of "The Ten Onenesses" and The Annotations on "The Profound Meaning of the Perceiver of the World's Sounds Chapter."
