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.

The priest who compiled the Chinese work A Collection of Records concerning the Tripitaka, which he did on the basis of Tao-an's Comprehensive Catalog of Sutras, the first index of Chinese translations of the Buddhist scriptures.
Because The Comprehensive Catalog of Sutras was lost, his Collection of Records concerning the Tripitaka is the oldest extant Chinese catalog of the Buddhist canon.
This work is a valuable reference not only for the study of Buddhist literature but also for historical studies, as it includes prefaces to the various translations and biographies of the early translators.
