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.

A priest of the Tendai school in Japan.
Born to the distinguished Tachibana family, he renounced secular life to devote himself as a priest to the Tendai practice.
In 963 he retired to Tonomine hill in Yamato Province, where he diligently practiced Tendai meditation and lectured on the Lotus Sutra, Great Concentration and Insight, The Words and Phrases of the Lotus Sutra, and other basic texts of the school.
With these lectures, he won many disciples.
