Further Anthology of the Propagation of Light
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.

Further Anthology of the Propagation of Light, The
広弘明集 (Chin Kuang-hung-ming-chi; Jpn Ko-gumyo-shu )
A collection of essays on Buddhism and other documents compiled in 664 by Tao-hsüan, a priest of the Precepts school (Ly) in China, some of which are found only in this work. This thirty-volume work contains essays, biographies, letters, epitaphs, or literary writings that were written from the third through the seventh century and were considered useful in protecting Buddhism against attacks from Taoists and Confucianists. Along with The Anthology of the Propagation of Light, a collection of essays on Buddhism compiled by Seng-yu (445-518), this work is considered invaluable in the study of Chinese Buddhism and the contact between Buddhism and the teachings of Taoism and Confucianism.
