Maitrī
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.

maitri
[慈] (Skt; Pali Metta; Jpn ji )
Kindness, Friendship, Love, benevolence, or pity. Maitri is one of the four infinite virtues, or the four aspects of a compassionate and altruistic Mind, the other three being karuna (Compassion), Mudita (Joy), and upeksha (impartiality). It is construed as giving others delight or Happiness. Maitreya, the name of the Bodhisattva, derives from the word maitri. A benevolent and compassionate Mind is a quality that Buddhism has always encouraged its practitioners to cultivate and nurture.
