Three Endurances in the Dharma
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.

Three Endurances in the Dharma (三法忍). According to the Sūtra of Amitāyus Buddha (T12n0360), these are:
(1) Endurance in Hearing the Sounds (音響忍), which means acceptance of the Dharma through hearing it;
(2) Endurance in Accord (柔順忍), which means agreement with the Dharma through pondering in accord with the truth; and
(3) Endurance in the Realization of the No Birth of Dharmas (無生法忍), which is the lasting realization of the truth that dharmas have neither birth nor death.
