Four noble worlds
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.

four noble worlds
四聖 (Jpn shi-sho or shi-sei )
The highest four of the Ten Worlds—the realms of voice-hearers, cause-awakened ones, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. The term is contrasted with the six paths, or six lowest of the Ten Worlds. These four noble worlds are also regarded as the states in which one makes efforts to transcend the uncertainty of the six paths, where one is controlled by earthly desires and governed by an ever-changing environment, and to establish independence or release from the control of earthly desires and external changes.
