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.

Melbourne Linh Son Buddhist Congregation
The Melbourne Linh Son Buddhist Congregation was established and incorporated in March 1991 as the Melbourne branch of the World Linh Son Buddhist Congregation, under the efforts of the present Abbot, the Venerable Shikku Thich Tinh Dao.
It commenced its services to the public since then, renting a small semi-detached house on Lincoln Street in the heart of 'Vietnam Town', North Richmond.
The Congregation grew considerably during the first year of its establishment, drawing devotees from Richmond and the neighbouring suburbs.
It was in mid 1994 when the decision was made to search for a bigger place, which could accommodate the rapidly developing congregation.
With financial support from the organisation (i.e. The World LSBC), the Taiwanese Buddhist Foundation and local Laity, the Congregation managed to purchase the former Lakeside Primary School in July 1994, which has become the current monastery.
It was a long and tedious and stressful process for Venerable Thich Tinh Dao, almost a miracle for the purchase of former Lakeside Primary School The land was very expensive and Linh Son had a strict budget, being a non profitable organisation.With persistence, faith, and mental support from many other Venerable and Nuns Lakeside Primary became Linh Son monastery. There were many articles in the local paper about the issue. If you would like to read them look under the 'About Us' menu on the left.
