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.

伽耶山・象頭山; (Skt; Pali Gayasisa; Jpn Gaya-sen or Zozu-sen)
A hill in India on which Shakyamuni is believed to have preached. It has been identified as the hill known today as Brahmayoni, located 1.5 kilometers southwest of Gaya city in northeastern India.
In Chinese Buddhist scriptures, Mount Gayashirsha is rendered as the Elephant-Head Mountain.
According to Chinese scriptures, it was on Elephant-Head Mountain that Devadatta plotted to create a schism within the Buddhist Order and to form his own Buddhist community.
