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.

About one interesting man

Newspaper “Leole” 4.17.2001 by Tõnu Kukk

Vello Väärtnõu has been characterized as “gentle brutal”, who is known to wider public from the field of art, religion and politics. Born in Saaremaa, the young man was caught in Karjala in Soviet time, trying to cross border and since then the security forces at the time (KGB) were keenly interested in his life. Young man was kept far from Tallinn and was banished to Lahmus, where search for work took him to be stoker in the collective farm in Paala. Great reading and active drawing and talking with co-thinkers characterize this period. Often, friends gathered in the boiler house to talk about astrology, art, Christianity and Buddhism. Later he was taken with philosophy of Buddhism totally and with friends from the Estonian Brotherhood went to pilgrimage to Buryatia in the late 1980s.

Returning from his journey first Buddhist stupas were built in Estonia, in Tuuru village Läänemaa. As an artist Väärnõu was self educated. His sketchbook visions from the days in Suure-Jaani, later evolved into large surrealistic paintings. The young man interacted at that time with Jüri Arrak and Leonhard Lapin – now well known artists. Väärtnõu’s creation became more abstract in the 1990s, color and form became more important. His large screen printed abstractions are very enjoyable. Väärtnõu has also taken a swing at “great politics”. In 1988 he participated in that bold initiative group, who proposed the founding of ENIP. This party was the first alternative party in the whole Soviet Union. Repressions followed – condemning article by M.Mets in “Noorte hääl” (“The Voice of Youth”) and deportation. Väärtnõu who is now living in Sweden turns 50 on the 14th of July this year.

Ühest huvitavast mehest

Vello Väärtnõud on iseloomustatud kui "leebet brutaali", kes laiema üldsuse silmis on tuntuks saanud kunsti, religiooni ja poliitika vallas. Saaremaalt pärit k arismaatiline noormees jäi nõukogude ajal Karjalas piiririkkumisega vahele ja sellest ajast peale tundis tema elu vastu aktiivselt huvi tollane julgeolek. Noormeest hoiti Tallinnast eemal ja pagendati Lahmusele, tööotsingud viisid ta Paala kolhoosi aiandisse katlakütjaks. Seda perioodi iseloomustab noormehe suur lugemus, aktiivne joonistamine ja mõttekaaslastega lävimine. Tihtipeale kogunes katlamajja sõpruskond, kes arutles astroloogia, kunsti, kristluse ja budismi üle. Hiljem haaras budismi filosoofia teda tervenisti ja 80-ndatel käis ta sõpradega Eestimaa Vennaskonnast palverännakul Burjaatias. Reisilt tagasi tulnud, ehitati Väärtnõu juhtimisel Läänemaale Tuuru külla, Eesti esimesed budistlikud stuupad. Kunstnikuna oli Väärtnõu iseõppija. Tema Suure-Jaani päevil harrastatud joonistusploki-nägemused arenesid hiljem suurteks sürrealistlikeks maalideks. Noormees suhtles sel perioodil praegu tuntud kunstnike Jüri Arraku ja Leonhard Lapiniga. 90-ndatel muutus Väärtnõu looming abstraktsemaks, tähtsamaks muutus värv ja vorm. Nauditavad on tema suured serigraafiatehnikas tehtud abstraktsioonid. Väärtnõu on ka "suure poliitikaga" tiiba ripsutanud. 1988. aastal osales ta selles julges initsiatiivgrupis, kes tegi ettepaneku asutada ERSP. See partei oli tol ajal esimeseks alternatiivparteiks terves N-Liidus. Järgnesid repressioonid, M. Metsa hukkamõistev artikkel "Noorte Hääles" ja riigist väljasaatmine. Praegu Rootsis elav Vello Väärtnõu saab tänavu 14. juulil viiekümneseks.
