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.

Mahasiddha Kamparipa… Kamparipa / Kamari (ngar pa): “The Blacksmith”
Kamparipa was a blacksmith from the land of Saliputra. One day a yogin came by to ask for alms, as he ate, the smith and his wife was happy that the yogin was willing to accept alms from someone of low-caste like them. The yogin then asked if they would practice the Dharma, but feeling inferior, they never thought anyone would teach them. The yogin then gave initiation which transfers spiritual power, also gave the instructions on the visualizations of the three mystic veins.
The smith, having great faith, meditated, and in 6 years he obtained the siddhi of Mahamudra. He benefitted many living beings and then went to the realm of the Dakas.
