Great Compassion 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.

Great Compassion Sutra
[大悲経] (Chin Ta-pei-ching; Jpn Daihi-kyo )
A sutra translated into Chinese in 558 by Narendrayashas. This sutra describes how Shakyamuni Buddha, about to enter nirvana, transfers the Law to the gods Brahmaand Shakra and to his disciples Mahakashyapa and Ananda. It extols the blessings of chanting the Buddha's name and making offerings to his relics. In this sutra, Shakyamuni instructs Ananda to work with Mahakashyapa to compile his teachings after his death, so that they will be transmitted to posterity. A Tibetan translation is also extant.
