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.

厳誉 (n.d.)
The administrator of Shijuku-in, a temple of the Tendai school, in Kambara in Suruga Province, Japan, during the Kamakura period (1185-1333).
Nikko, who was later to become Nichiren's successor, had originally entered the priesthood at Shijuku-in and studied there.
In the course of his propagation efforts in the Fuji area in the 1270s, Nikko often visited the temple, and he converted several of its young priests including Nichiji, Kenshu, and Shoken.
Shortly before the Atsuhara Persecution, Gon'yo expelled Nikko, Kenshu, Shoken, and Nichiji from the temple, asserting that they were preaching erroneous teachings.
