China cracks down on Tibetans allegedly associated with self-immolations.
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 shocking series of self-immolations by Tibetans protesting repressive Chinese rule has shaken up Buddhists and their friends worldwide. China's answer to this tragedy has been a crack down on anyone suspected of being associated with the self-immolations. Phayul.com has reported on Nov. 1, 2012: "China arrests three Tibetans for possible self-immolation links." Three Tibetans, which have included two monks and a layman, were recently detained on unknown charges by Chinese security personnel from Trido town in the Sog region of Kham, Tibet. The Tibetans arrested have been identified as: Thubten Nyendak, 34, and Tsewang, 24, both monks of Drilda Monastery and Phurbu, 27, a lay Tibetan. Ngawang Tharpa, who is an exiled Tibetan, has cited unnamed sources in the region as saying the reason for their detention has not been not clear
