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.

The miraculous displays of the four ways of training (Wyl. 'dul ba bzhi) are the dominion of nirmanakayas. They are:
- To train beings through the perfect deeds of their Body endowed with great merit, such as the twelve deeds (mdzad pa bcu gnyis).
- Training beings with their Mind endowed with the direct perception of the great clear perceptions. They are the six clear perceptions (mngon shes drug).
- Training beings through the great magical displays of their inconceivable Qualities and Activities. These are the various magical displays of actions with three secrets (Wyl. gsang gsum)—Body, Speech and Mind.
- Training through their Speech teaching the five vehicles, or their Speech teaching the Mahayana.[1]
