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.

康僧会 (d. 280) (PY Kangsenghui; Jpn Kosoe)
A monk originally of Sogdiana in Central Asia. His family had moved to Indochina because of his father's business. There he lost both parents and decided to become a monk. In 247 he went to Chien-yeh, the capital of Wu, one of the Three Kingdoms of China at the time, and there propagated Buddhism. He was revered by Sun Ch'yan, the ruler of Wu, who built a temple called Chien-ch'u-ssu for him. There he taught Buddhism and translated Buddhist sutras. He is known for a Chinese translation of the Sutra of Collected Birth Stories concerning the Practice of the Six Paramitas.
