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.

Eshin school
恵心流 ( Jpn Eshin-ryu)
A branch of the Japanese Tendai school that regards Genshin (942-1017) as its founder. A disciple of Ryogen, the eighteenth chief priest of the Tendai school, Genshin was also called the Supervisor of Priests Eshin because he lived in a hall called Eshin-in at Enryaku-ji temple on Mount Hiei. Kakuun, another disciple of Ryogen, is regarded as the founder of the Danna school. Genshin valued the practice of meditation that Dengyo, founder of the Japanese Tendai school, had learned from Tao-sui, while Kakuun attached greater importance to the doctrinal studies that Dengyo had learned from Hsing-man. The Eshin school later gave rise to the Sugiu, Gyosen-bo, Tsuchimikado Monzeki, and Hoji-bo schools.
