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.

Lha, Nyen and Lu: "describe the protocol and decorum of earth itself and show how human beings can weave themselves into the texture of basic reality."
Lha, "is the highest points on earth; the points that can catch the light of the rising sun first of all; psychologically represents first wakefulness." In the body, lha is the head, especially the eyes and forehead."
Nyen, "literally means 'friend'; begins with the great shoulders of the mountains and includes forests, jungles and plains; psychologically it is solidity, feeling solidly grounded in goodness, grounded in the earth. Connected with bravery and the gallantry of human beings. In the body, nyen includes not only your shoulders but your torso, your chest and rib cage."
Lu "literally means 'water being'; realm of oceans, rivers and great lakes. Psychologically, the experience of lu is like jumping into a golden lake. Lu is also freshness, like sunshine reflecting in a deep pool of water, showing the liquid jewel like quality of the water. In your body, lu is your legs and feet: everything below your waist."
