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.

About

The Kuan Yin Meditation Centre located in Lismore in Northern New South Wales was established by Subhana Barzaghi who is a teacher in both the Zen and Insight (Vipassana) traditions. The Dojo was purpose built by Subhana as the first Zen Temple in Australia.
The Centre supports both Insight (Vipassana) and Zen groups.
The Kuan Yin Insight Meditation group meets on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30pm. The program includes sitting and walking meditation, guided meditations, interviews, and Dharma talks and discussions under the guidance of Ellen Davison. Ellen is an Insight Meditation teacher and also a Zen teacher in the Diamond Sangha lineage established by Robert Aitken Roshi in Hawaii. The orientation of the Wednesday evening group is Insight Meditation.
The Zen group meets on Monday evenings from 7:00-8:45pm and includes guidance and instruction on Zen practices, chanting, Dharma talks and discussion. Individual interviews are also available.
The Kuan Yin Meditation Centre premises are also available for use by other meditation and yoga groups.
The Centre is co-ordinated by a committee who also organize monthly mornings, days and non-residential weekends of Mindfulness meditation. These are usually on the third Saturday or Sunday of each month.
