Nine actions of the three doors
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.

The nine actions of the three doors (Wyl. bya ba dgu phrugs) are mentioned in the Dzogchen teachings. They are all outer, inner, and secret activities of body, speech, and mind.
- outwardly, all worldly, distracting activities,
- inwardly, all ordinary virtuous deeds such as prostrations and circumambulations, and
- secretly, all unnecessary movements that scatter one‘s practice.
- outwardly, all worldly, deluded conversations,
- inwardly, all liturgies and recitations, and
- secretly, any talking whatsoever.
- outwardly, all worldly, deluded thoughts,
- inwardly, all mental activity focused on visualizations of the development and the completion stages, and
- secretly, all movements of the mind.
