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.

Bardan Monastery or Bardan Gompa is a 17th century Buddhist Monastery, approximately 12 kilometres south of Padum, in Zanskar, Ladakh, northern India.
It belongs to the Drugpa-Kargyu monastic Order and was one of the first Monasteries of this sect to be established in Zanskar. The Monastery also ran several smaller hermitages in the area.
The Monastery consists of a large Dukhang or assembly hall which has some grand Statues of Buddhist figures and several small Stupas in clay, bronze, wood and copper.
