Four sacred caves of Sikkim
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.

The Four Sacred Caves of Sikkim have been blessed by Guru Rinpoche. They surround Tashiding the spiritual centre and heart of Sikkim in the four directions. They are:
- The Hidden Cave in the East (Wyl. shar phyogs sbas phug)
- The Secret Cave of the Dakini, or Womb of the Dakini, in the South (Wyl. lho mkha’ ‘gro bzang po or shang phug)
- The Cave of Great Bliss in the West (Wyl. nub bde chen phug)
- The Cave of the Heart of the Deity in the North (Wyl. byang lha ri snying po)
