Thubten Shedrup Ling
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.

Thubten Shedrup Ling is the first Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Australia. It is situated near Bendigo, Victoria, and is a member of the International Mahayana Institute of the FPMT.
In 1994 Lama Zopa Rinpoche asked Australian Buddhist monk Ven. Thubten Gyatso to establish a Monastery on land near Bendigo donated by the family of Mr. Ian Green. His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the XIVth Dalai Lama of Tibet endorsed the Name: Thubten Shedrup Ling, An Oasis for Study and Practice of The Buddha’s Teachings.
With the architectural and financial support of Mr. Salim Lee and the support of many individual donors, construction began in 1996. The first Monks moved into Thubten Shedrup Ling in 1997.
Geshe Konchok Tsering of Sera Je Monastery in India accepted a request from Lama Zopa Rinpoche to take up residence at Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery and be the resident Teacher for adjacent Atisha Centre. Geshe Konchok Tsering arrived in May 2003.
