Increasing by One Agama 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.

増一阿含経 (Chin Tseng-i-a-han-ching; Jpn Zoichi-agon-gyo )
One of the four Chinese Agama sutras.
The Increasing by One Agama Sutra consists of 471 smaller sutras in 52 sections. It was translated and compiled in 51 volumes by Samghadeva, a monk from Kashmir, in 397.
This Chinese text corresponds to the Pali text Anguttara-nikaya, and categorizes various doctrines into eleven groups, numbered one through eleven, each of which contains doctrines whose name or description contains that number.
For example, the third group includes doctrines such as the three treasures and the three categories of action; the fourth group includes the four noble truths, the four forms of birth, etc.
This incremental organization of its contents is the source of the sutra's title, "Increasing by One."
