Nine examples which illustrate how buddha nature is present in all beings
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.

Nine examples which illustrate how buddha nature is present in all beings, from the Uttaratantra Shastra:
- a buddha in the shroud of a decaying lotus
- pure honey amid a big swarm of bees
- grain contained within its husk
- a piece of gold in the midst of filth
- a precious treasure in the ground under a poor man’s house
- the shoot of a mango tree growing from a tiny fruit
- a statue of the Buddha made of precious gems inside a tattered rag
- a universal monarch in the womb of a woman of miserable appearance
- a golden image present inside a clay mould
