Outflows
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.

outflows
漏 (Skt asrava; Jpn ro )
An equivalent term for earthly desires. "Outflows" refers to that which flows out from the six sense organs; i.e., earthly desires, illusions, or defilements.
To become free of outflows means liberation from earthly desires, illusions, or defilements.
In Buddhist scriptures, the presence of or freedom from outflows describes various related yet contrasting qualities or states.
For example, there are wisdom that retains outflows and wisdom that is free of outflows, meditation accompanied by outflows and meditation without outflows, and a body with outflows and a body without outflows.
