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.

Chih-chou
智周 (678–733) (PY Zhizhou; Jpn Chishu)
The third patriarch of the Dharma Characteristics (Fa-hsiang) school in China. At age twenty-three, he became a disciple of Hui-chao and mastered the doctrines of that school. He lived at Pao-ch'eng-ssu temple in P'u-yang and wrote a number of treatises. Chih-chou taught the Consciousness-Only doctrine to the Japanese priests Chiho, Chiran, and Chiyu, who came to China in 703, and to Gembo, who came in 717.
