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.

顕真 (1130–1192)
The sixty-first chief priest of Enryaku-ji, the head temple of the Tendai school on Mount Hiei in Japan. He studied the exoteric teachings under Myoun and the esoteric teachings under Sojitsu. In 1173 he retired to a temple at Ohara, and in 1186 he invited Honen there to answer questions about the Pure Land teachings from himself and other priests (an event known as the Ohara Discourse) and devoted himself to the exclusive practice of Nembutsu, or the chanting of Amida Buddha's name. In 1190, against his wishes, he was appointed chief priest of Enryaku-ji and then under-administrator of priests.
