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.

Dorje Dechen Lingpa (Wyl. rdo rje bde chen gling pa) (1857-1928) was the reincarnation of Yongdzin Jinpa Gyatso, founder of Domang Monastery, and Lhatsün Namkha Jikmé. He studied with Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye, Palyul Dongak Chökyi Nyima and other masters. He began to reveal terma at the age of twenty-one. In 1927, at the age of 70, he left his monastery and travelled to Central Tibet and eventually Sikkim and India. It was on this journey that he spent five months giving the transmissions for the Rinchen Terdzö at Drikung Yari Monastery. Having returned to Tibet, he passed into parinirvana in Sakya in western Tibet in the earth dragon year of the 16th calendrical cycle (1928).
Incarnations
He had two reincarnations, both born in Sikkim. One of them is Yangthang Rinpoche, the other died in 1958.
