Ocean of Good Explanation
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.

Ocean of Good Explanation (Wyl. legs bshad rgya mtsho) - a commentary on the Bodhicharyavatara written by Ngulchu Tokmé Zangpo. Patrul Rinpoche would often use this commentary as a basis for teaching the text.
Translations
- Due to be translated by the Library of Tibetan Classics [1]
- This commentary was also used by Stephen Batchelor as a basis for his translation of the root text of the Bodhicharyavatara published by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives. Most of the Thogme Zangpo’s commentary on the ninth chapter is included in Batchelor’s translation, for the sake of clarifying the root text.
