Lha Zhi Dril Drup (The Combined Practice Of the Four Deities)
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.

An important practice in the Shangpa lineage focusing on the main deity, Dorje Chang (Vajradhara) in union with his consort Ying Chuk Ma (Vajradatavesvari). They are surrounded in the four cardinal directions by Chagdrupa (6 armed Mahakala), who’s focus is dispelling outer obstacles directly in front of them; Dorje Naljorma (Vajra Yogini), who’s focus is enriching inner meditative experience, bliss and heat to their right; Chenrezig (2 armed Avalokatesvara), who’s focus is enriching outer meditative experience directly behind them; Drolma Jangku (Green Tara), who’s focus is dispelling inner obstacles to their left. There are two main sources of transmission for this practice. This particular one was revealed to Rahula Gupta Vajra in south India. He later transmitted it directly to Kyungpo Naljor at Pen-youl Jok-po in Tibet while in retreat. Kyungpo Naljor then passed it on to Mok-chok-pa and it has been continually passed down through the lineage until the present day.
