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.

Nibbinda Forest Monastery (中文: Nibbinda 丛林道场) is a Theravada forest Monastery situated at Mukim 5, Balik Pulau, Penang, Malaysia.
The Monastery is located on top of a hill in Balik Pulau.
Surrounded by mountains and facing the sea, the beautiful yet serene place is an ideal spot for the Monks to cultivate disgust with worldly Life.
A small town with simple folks living at the foot of the hill makes the Monastery more suitable to establish as the Pure Land in this World.
History
In the early of 2009, Nibbinda Forest Monastery was officially offered to The Most Venerable Pa Auk Tawya Sayadaw and thus the Monastery was named by Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw.
The meaning of “nibbinda” is “disgust with worldly Life”.
By leaving the hustle and bustle of the worldly Life, the Monks will be able to learn and practise Buddha’s teachings in a comfortable environment.
