Narak Kong Shak
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.

Narak Kong Shak (Wyl. na rak skong bshags) is a famous practice of confession and fulfilment associated with the Narak Dongtruk ('Emptying the Lower Realms from their Very Depths') tantra, and compiled from the Kagyé Sangwa Yongdzok, which is a revelation of Guru Chökyi Wangchuk, and the Kagyé Drakpo Rangjung Rangshar of the Northern Treasures.
It is known as one of the most powerful and important methods or practices of confession, and is also a particularly powerful prayer for those who have died or are ill.
