Samantabdhadra Mantra
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.

THE PRAYER OF SAMANTABHADRA was taken from the ninth chapter of the Dzogchen Teachings called the Northern Treasures.The Northern Treasures originate from Guru Padmasambhava, the Indian Guru who established the vajrayana teachings in Tibet in the 9 th Century CE. Having spread
the Buddhist teaching in Tibet, Guru Padmasambhava concealed many spiritual treasures for individuals in the future. When the time was right, these spiritual treasures awoke within the minds of the reincarnations of Padmasambhava’s accomplished
disciples to directly benefit later generations of students. One of these was Rigdzin Godem (1337-1408). He revealed THE PRAYER OF SAMANTABHADRA. This prayer contains the essence of all Buddhist teaching. It shows the causes and effects of all delusions and explains how to transform our mind.
“…And if you pray loudly so all can hear, then beings of the three realms will be gradually liberated from suffering…”
