Pure Emerald World
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.

Pure Emerald World
浄瑠璃世界 ( Jpn Joruri-sekai)
Also known as the Pure Emerald Land. The pure land of Medicine Master Buddha, who is said to dwell as many Buddha lands away in the east as the grains of sand of ten Ganges Rivers. According to the Medicine Master Sutra, its ground is made of emerald, ropes of gold mark the boundaries of roads, and the seven kinds of gems adorn its buildings. Two bodhisattvas, Sunlight and Moonlight, are described as the leaders of the countless bodhisattvas in this land and also as upholders and guardians of the teachings of Medicine Master Buddha.
