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.

597 . The Tian Tai school founder Zhi Yi settles at Xiuchan Monastery on Mount Tiantai in eastern China.
He publishes a disciplinary code for the monks there, the Li Zhifa (Establishing monastic regulations), in 597.
His follower Guan Ding later records Zhi Yi’s teachings in the Mohe Zhiguan (Great calming and contemplation).
In this work Zhi Yi spells out the equal importance given to practice and study in the monk’s life of contemplation.
