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.

Lo means mind and Jong means training or transformation.
This means that we exercise our mind.
Whenever we are in a difficult situation we have a perfect opportunity to practice.
Not only does this teach us to transform our mind and emotions into a better state, but it also encourages us to better understand the principles of our existence.
The more we understand the nature of our interconnectedness and impermanence, the less we fight against them. This will reduce our suffering and the suffering we create for others.
In this way, we can come out of negative, habitual mental patterns.
We learn to perceive situations with a freshness and clarity that reveal our opportunity for development. Every person and every problem becomes our teacher.
