"Benefits of the Teacher of the Law" chapter
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.

"Benefits of the Teacher of the Law" chapter
法師功徳品 ( Jpn Hosshi-kudoku-hon )
The nineteenth chapter of the Lotus Sutra.
In this chapter, Shakyamuni Buddha addresses Bodhisattva Constant Exertion.
It begins with Shakyamuni's statement that, by carrying out the five practices of embracing, reading, reciting, expounding, and transcribing the Lotus Sutra, one can purify one's six sense organs—the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. The chapter then elaborates on the benefits and powers about each of the purified sense organs.
The "Teacher of the Law" in the chapter title indicates one who practices the Lotus Sutra oneself and preaches it to others.
