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.

Kimbara
[金原] (n.d.)
The Dharma Bridge Kimbara (Kimbara-hokkyo). Also known as the Dharma Bridge Kanahara. A follower of Nichiren who lived in Shimosa Province, Japan. He actively spread Nichiren's teaching there together with Ota Saemon and Soya Kyoshin. "Dharma Bridge" was a title established in the mid-ninth century as an official rank for priests, but later became simply a title of honor. In 1271 Nichiren addressed a letter, known as Lessening One's Karmic Retribution, to Kimbara, Ota, and Soya, which he wrote while being held in detention at Echi in Sagami Province prior to his exile on Sado Island.
