Inka Shōmei
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.

Inka Shōmei(印可証明) (Korean: Inga) literally means "the legitimate seal of clearly furnished proof":
The ideogram for inka has two parts: in is on one side, ka is on the other.
The root meaning resides in the character for in (yin in Chinese).
The right half of this in consists of an ancient character shaped like our modern P.
In ancient times the character represented an actual object. It stood for the image of just the right half (P) of the emperor's official seal (IP), after the Emperor had broken in half the whole seal."
The right-hand portion of the seal was given to an individual who would then work by authority of the emperor, while the emperor himself would retain the left-hand portion.
In ancient times inka usually came in the form of an actual document, but this practice is no longer commonplace.
