12 conditions for 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.

12 conditions for enlightenment:
suffering (dukkha)
faith (saddhā)
joy (pāmojja, pāmujja)
rapture (pīti)
tranquillity (passaddhi)
happiness (sukha)
concentration (samādhi)
knowledge and vision of things as they are (yathābhūta-ñāna-dassana)
disenchantment with worldly life (nibbidā)
dispassion (virāga)
freedom, release, emancipation (vimutti)
knowledge of destruction of the cankers (āsava-khaye-ñāna)
(from Samyutta Nikaya 12.23, Upanisa Sutta)
Similar to the 12 parts of Dependent Origination, except that here there are 12 parts listed toward enlightenment instead of the chain and cycle of suffering.
