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.

In Tibetan Buddhism and Bon, Menngakde (Tibetan: མན་ངག་སྡེ, Wylie: man ngag sde, THL: men-ngak-dé, Sanskrit: upadēśavarga), is the name of one of three scriptural and lineage divisions within Dzogchen (Great Perfection atiyōga). Dzogchen is
itself the pinnacle of the ninefold division of practice according to the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Menngagde focuses on rigpa. The Menngagde or 'Instruction Class' of Dzogchen teachings are divided into two parts: trekchö and tögel.

Solidity (khregs chod), which is related to primordial purity (ka dag); and Direct Vision of Reality (thod rgal), which is related to spontaneous presence (Ihun grub). (en)
Мэннгагдэ, также Мэннгагде, Мен Нгак Дэ (Вайли: man ngag sde; санскр.: Upadeshavarga IAST; «сообщаемое тайно») — третий из трёх разделов учения и текстов Дзогчен, «раздел Тайных (устных) Наставлений», «Сущностный раздел», «раздел Упадеша». Также эти учения называются Ньинг-тиг (санскр.: citta-tilaka IAST),
что означает «сущность ума». Три раздела Дзогчена, как их представил Манджушримитра, — Семдэ («раздел Природы Ума»), Лонгдэ («раздел Пространства») и Мэннгагдэ («Сущностный раздел») — развились от различных подходов разных линий передачи учения. Тем не менее, как отмечает Намкай Норбу Ринпоче, «достигаемое состояние созерцания одинаково для всех трёх разделов». Мэннгагдэ — раздел Устных Наставлений — относится к линии передачи Падмасамбхавы и Вималамитры, получивших их от Шри Симхи..
