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.

Lotus meditation
法華三昧 (Jpn hokke-sammai or hokke-zammai )
A form of meditation based on the Lotus Sutra. In the T'ient'ai school of China and the Tendai school of Japan, the Lotus meditation refers particularly to meditation practiced to perceive the true aspect of the Middle Way based on the Lotus Sutra.
The Lotus meditation is categorized as "half-active and half-sitting" meditation, one of the four forms of meditation set forth by T'ient'ai (538-597).
It is carried out over a twenty-one-day period, and combines both walking and seated meditation.
Specifically, the Lotus meditation involves walking around the place of meditation while reciting the Lotus Sutra, as well as seated meditation.
