Complete Revelation
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.

Complete Revelation
Pouring the fountain of all Buddhas and right teachings,
In complete revelation the compassionate mind rejoices.
Whatever taught by Buddha in this Sutra is fundamental;
Just by observing a four-sentence gatha will one awaken.
Comment:
The Diamond Sutra fully explains fundamental principles of Buddhism in details. It directly points out that its contents constitute the fountain of all Buddhas and their right teachings. During the course of such a complete revelation it is often the case that a
statement made somewhere therein could indeed serve as a principle for a practitioner to abide by all through life. In the Sutra there are twenty-seven occurrences of "three-step arguments" that serve to completely wipe out grasping as real any worldly matter
or Buddhists teaching and conceptual hindrances therefrom, and conclude in wondrous application of names and labels born of a mind free from attachments and preconceptions. If one could comprehend the principles through one of such examples, one would
immediately comprehend awakening. Therefore, in the Sutra it is said that even just by receiving in good faith and abiding by in
practice a gatha of four sentences, the resulting meritorious virtues are inconceivable and the fruitful consequences are likewise inconceivable.
