3 most important meals to a Buddha
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.

The three most important meals offered to a Buddha:
1. The meal just before enlightenment (milk rice offered by Sujata, from Khuddaka Nikaya, Buddhavamsa 2.63, 20.16, 25.18)
2. The meal just after enlightenment (barley meal and honey balls, from Vinaya I.4)
3. The meal just before passing into parinibbana (most likely mushrooms, from Digha Nikaya 16)
