A Song of Advice for Gok Zangden
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.

ནང་གི་རིག་པ་ཁ་ཡན་ཐོང་། ། ཕྱི་རུ་སྣང་ལ་མ་ཞེན་པར། ། ཕྱི་ནང་མེད་པ་ཟང་ཐལ་ལེ། ། རེ་དྭོགས་གྲོལ་ལ་ཨེ་མ་ཧོ། ། Allowing inner awareness to be unrestricted, While remaining unattached to outer appearances: Beyond outer and inner, all is transparently clear— Free from hope and fear: how amazing!
ཡེངས་པ་ཡོད་ན་སེམས་ཀྱི་ཆ། ། དེ་དུས་རྒྱུ་འབྲས་ཁྱད་མ་བསད། ། ཡེངས་མེད་རིག་པའི་འཁོར་ལོ་བསྐོར། ། ལུས་སེམས་སྦུབ་དེ་གྲོལ་ལ་ཤོག ། Distraction, when it occurs, is an aspect of ordinary mind, So, on such occasions, do not neglect cause and effect. When undistracted, let the wheel of awareness turn— May physical and mental restrictions be released!
གང་ཤར་དབྱིངས་ལས་མ་གཡོས་པའི། ། དབྱིངས་རིག་འབྲལ་མེད་དབང་པོ་དེས། ། འཇིགས་མེད་ནམ་མཁའི་ཀློང་ནས་བརྡོལ། ། ཁྱེད་ཀྱང་ང་དང་གཉིས་མེད་ཤོག ། Through the power of inseparable space and awareness, Wherein whatever arises does not stray from absolute space, Fearlessness emerges out of the sky-like expanse: May you and I thus remain inseparable!
