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.

Ānantariya: Immediacy, is a name for that Concentration of Mind which is associated with the profound and shocking Insight vipassanā that is present in any one of the 4 kinds of supra-mundane path Consciousness see: Ariya-puggala, and which therefore is the cause of the immediately following fruition phala Consciousness. According to the Abhidhamma, this path-moment of the Stream-enterer Sotapanna & the other Nobles is generated by the Insight into the Impermanence, misery and impersonality of all existence, reaching a certain threshold at that very moment and thus instantly transforming and ennobling the individual nature forever. It is mentioned under the name of ānantarika-Samādhi in the Ratana Sutta Sn. v. 22 and in Pts.M. 1, Ñānakathā.
