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.

阿梨樹 (Skt; Jpn ari-ju )
A tree that grows in India and other tropical areas. It is said that when a branch of this tree falls to the ground it splits into seven pieces. When the ten demon daughters in the "Dharani" (twenty-sixth) chapter of the Lotus Sutra pledge to protect the sutra's votaries, they are quoted as saying, "If there are those who fail to heed our spells and trouble and disrupt the preachers of the Law, their heads will split into seven pieces like the branches of the arjaka tree."
