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.

Jie Zi Shu
By Zhuge Liang
To carry out the practice of a noble person,
Cultivate yourself in quietude,
And develop virtue with frugality.
Without a simple life, you will lack clarity of will;
Without tranquility, you will not go far.
To learn, you must have quietude,
And to have ability, you must learn.
Without learning, you will not broaden your abilities;
Without quietude, you will not accomplish your learning.
Being scattered, you will not achieve true excellence;
Being reckless, you will not control your own nature.
Over time, the years will race by,
And your aspirations will depart daily.
Having dried up and fallen behind,
You will then not engage in the world.
Sitting alone in regret and poverty,
What will your accomplishments be?
