Buddha-mind.
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.

- One of the five fruitional aspects of a buddha. The term buddha-mind (Skt. citta) is synonymous with pristine cogniton (jñāna), five modes of which are differentiated. In the distinctive terminology of the rNying-ma school, these are known as:
1) the buddha-mind of great non-conceptuality (mi rtog chen po'i thugs),
2) the buddha mind of indivisible indestructible reality (mi phyed rdo rje'i thugs)
3) the buddha-mind of great equanimity (mnyam nyid chen po'i thugs),
4) the buddha-mind of manifest enlightenment (mngon byang gi thugs), and
5) the buddha-mind which liberates living beings ('gro ba sgrol ba'i thugs).
