Profound Meaning of the "Percelver of the world's Sounds" chapter
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.

Profound Meaning of the "Percelver of the world's Sounds" chapter, The
観音玄義 (Chin Kuan-yin-hsüan-i; Jpn Kannon-gengi )
A work compiled from lectures T'ient'ai gave on the "Perceiver of the World's Sounds" (twenty-fifth) chapter of the Lotus Sutra by his disciple Chang-an. T'ient'ai comments on this chapter in light of the five major principles of name, entity or essence, quality, function, and teaching, and explains the three realms of existence, the Ten Worlds, the one hundred worlds, and the one thousand factors. Since this work does not refer to the principle of three thousand realms in a single moment of life, it is thought to have been compiled prior to Great Concentration and Insight, a compilation of lectures T'ient'ai delivered in 594.
