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.

鉄囲山・鉄輪囲山 (Skt; Jpn Tetchi-sen or Tetsurin’i-sen)
The Iron Encircling Mountains. The mountain range that, according to the ancient Indian worldview, forms the circular periphery of the world. Located at the center of the world, Mount Sumeru is surrounded by eight concentric mountain ranges, which are separated by eight concentric seas. The Chakravada are the eighth and outermost of these mountain ranges and are made of iron, while the other seven are made of gold.
