Bodhisattva Dharmodgata
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.

Dharmodgata
曇無竭菩薩 (Skt; Jpn Dommukatsu-bosatsu)
Also known as Dharma Emerged or Dharma Arisen. A bodhisattva described in the Wisdom sutras. According to the Larger Wisdom Sutra, Bodhisattva Dharmodgata lived in his palace in the City of Fragrances (Skt Gandhavati). While satisfying the five desires and being accompanied by sixty-eight thousand women, he preached the doctrine of the perfection of wisdom three times a day. The people in the city held him in high esteem and presented him with offerings. Those who listened to his sermon and embraced it were saved from falling into the evil paths of existence. From Dharmodgata, Bodhisattva Ever Wailing learned the teaching of the perfection of wisdom, mastered six million types of meditation, and finally attained supreme wisdom. In the Wisdom sutras, Bodhisattva Dharmodgata is described as a "good friend" who leads Bodhisattva Ever Wailing to enlightenment in lifetime after lifetime.
