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.

Mahasiddha Tsalukipa… Caluki/Culiki: “The Revitalized Drone”
Celuka was born of low caste in Mangalapur and had always been idle in his action and thoughts, blaming it on lethargy all the time.
Nevertheless, he had been frightened by the nightmare of samsaric existence.
As he was sitting beneath a tree one day, yogin Maitripa passed by him and asked him what he was doing.
Celuka revealed to the yogin that he intended to obtain a sadhana to escape samsara sufferings.
However, he lacked a master who could instruct him the proper methods and paths and was lazy to search for one. He then made a request to the yogin for advice to overcome his laziness.
Yogin Maitripa suggested that Celuka take an initiation to dispel his laziness and granted him the initiation and empowerment of Samvara.
Celuka was instructed the methods and significance of the meditation.
Celuka was to meditate on his body, speech and mind and through keeping his psychic energies in the central channel of his body, he would eventually overcome his idle mind and attain enlightenment.
Celuka meditated as told for nine years, dispelling his ignorant mind.
