Eight points illustrating the culminating application
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.

Eight points illustrating the culminating application — among the seventy points of the Abhisamayalankara, eight points illustrating the culminating application, the fifth of the eight topics:
The four culminating applications of ordinary beings:
1. warmth, indicated by signs
2. summit, indicated by progress
3. acceptance, which is indicated by stability in which the twofold welfare is not forsaken
4. supreme attribute, indicated by the complete abiding of the mind
The three culminating applications of noble beings:
5. the culminating application of the path of seeing
6. the culminating application of the path of cultivation
7. the culminating application of the unimpeded
And:
8. the mistaken practice to be avoided.
