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.

Khenjuk (Tib. མཁས་འཇུག་, Wyl. mkhas 'jug) — the abbreviated title of The Entrance to the Way of the Wise or Introduction to Scholarship, an encyclopedic treatise composed by Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche at the turn of the twentieth century, which is often one of the first texts to be taught in a shedra. (For information on the text of the same name composed by Sakya Pandita, see Sapan Khenjuk.)
Outline
Mipham Rinpoche's famous treatise teaches the vast, the ten topics of knowledge, the profound, the four seals, and the means of maintaining the profound and vast teachings, the four perfect knowledges.
