INTRODUCTION TO THE BUDDHIST PATH - THE FIVE DHYANA BUDDHAS
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 five Dhyana Buddhas play an important role in Buddhist Tantra, especially in relation to the creation of sacred mandalas. Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle, and in Tibetan they are called kyil-khor, which means essence and circle. There are four common forms of mandalas: painted mandalas, particle mandalas, body mandalas and concentration mandalas.
