3 kinds of Nirmanakaya forms
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.

3 kinds of Nirmanakaya forms:
1. Zoye tulku; Nirmanakaya of artefacts, such as statues, stupas and other sacred artefacts that manifest and are venerated as religious objects.
2. Kye wai tulku; Nirmanakaya of birth and refers to highly evolved beings who continue to reincarnate in Nirmanakaya form for the benefit of others. This is why the tulkus are called tulkus.
3. chul ku tulku; Nirmanakaya of the absolute. This means that the person has fully realized Buddhahood, and has attained full enlightenment.
