(Halo)--Enlightenment
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.

(Halo)--Enlightenment After overcoming temptation, enlightenment is complete. Siddhartha had become the historical Buddha, Sakyamuni. For forty-five years, he wandered and taught anyone who was interested in his understanding of reality.
In addition to the halo there are disciples at his feet, but in the complex pictures this scene is subordinated by a confusing array of celestial and worldly beings and structures.
viii) (Bier)--Death At the age of eighty the Buddha died. His disciples and many animals gathered around the bier to mourn his passing. In elaborate paintings, there is a colorful shower of relics from the burning casket. Around the body are crowds of both heavenly and earthly mourners.
