Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en
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.

First part deals with the Monkey "Sun Wukong" who loots the heavens. Second part, the Pig "Zhu Bajie", i.e. "Eight Precepts Pig," tastes his cosmic issues sometimes in conflict with the Monkey. The third part, the river "Sha Wujing", i.e. “Friar Sand,” is banished for dishonoring the Queen Mother of the West. The fourth part, the horse "Yulong" experiences tribulation since he blazed the great pearl of the Dragon King of the West Sea.
