Khandro's Plea
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.

༈ ཀ་ཡེ་གསོན་དང་བླ་མ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ། ཁ་ཞེ་མེད་པའི་དམ་ཆོས་མ་དྲན་ནས། ག་ལེ་གུ་ལེས་མི་ཚེ་ཟད་འདུག་ལགས། ང་ནི་ཤི་ནས་དམྱལ་བར་འགྲོ་ངེས་རེད། ཅེས་ཚེ་ཆོས་ནས་བྲིས།
Tsering Chödrön wrote: “Oh! Listen, precious lama, please! Without having really genuinely thought about the Dharma, bit by bit my life has just slipped away. And when I die, I will go to hell, I’m sure!”
ཁྱོ་པོ་བླ་མས་ལན་བཏབ་པ་དེ་ལ་ཕན་པ་ད་ལྟ་རང་ལག་ཡོད། ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྣམ་གྲངས་མང་པོ་མ་ཐོན་རུང་། ཀུན་ལ་ཕན་སེམས་བསམ་པ་བཟང་པོ་དང་། དགེ་རྩ་བསྔོ་ཞིང་སྨོན་ལམ་བཟང་པོ་གདབ། རང་སེམས་སྐྱེ་མེད་གསལ་སྟོང་ངོ་བོ་སྐྱོང་། རྟག་ཏུ་བླ་མ་དྲན་ལ་གསོལ་བ་ཐོབ། དེ་ནི་མདོ་རྒྱུད་ཀུན་གྱི་སྙིང་པོ་ཡིན། ཅེས་གདམས་པའོ། །
Her husband the lama replied: “Right now, you have all the help you need, in your own hands. Even though you cannot manage many different kinds of Dharma practice, if you can keep a good heart and be kind to everyone, dedicate the merit and make wholesome prayers of aspiration, maintain the unborn nature of the mind which is the union of clarity and emptiness, and always remember the lama and pray to him, that is the heart of all the sūtras and tantras.” This was his advice.
