Perfect Enlightenment Sutra
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.

Perfect Enlightenment Sutra
円覚経 (Chin Yüan-chyeh-ching; Jpn Engaku-kyo )
An abbreviation of the Complete and Final Teaching on Perfect Enlightenment Sutra. A Sutra translated into Chinese in 693 by Buddhatara who had gone to China from Kashmir. In this Sutra, Shakyamuni explains the mystic principle of perfect Enlightenment and the practice for its attainment to an audience of twelve Bodhisattvas
including Manjushri, Universal Worthy, and Maitreya. Contemporary scholars view this Sutra as a work produced in China, where this Sutra was widely read and a number of commentaries written on it. It had considerable influence on the Flower Garland (Hua-yen) and Zen (Ch'an) schools, and was regarded highly by the Zen school in particular.
