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.

仏陀什 (n.d.) (Skt; Jpn Buddaju)
A monk of the Mahishasaka school in Kashmir, ancient India, during the fifth century. He became a disciple of a monk of the Mahishasaka school and studied that school's vinaya, or monastic rules of discipline. He went to China in 423 and translated The Fivefold Rules of Discipline at Lung-kuang-ssu temple in Chien-k'ang along with Tao-sheng and Hui-yen, disciples of Kumarajiva. The Fivefold Rules of Discipline, the vinaya of the Mahishasaka school, is a translation of the Sanskrit text that Fa-hsien, the noted Chinese Buddhist pilgrim, brought from Sri Lanka to China in the early fifth century.
