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.

Palyul Monastery (Tib. དཔལ་ཡུལ་, Wyl. dpal yul) — one of the Six "Mother" Nyingma Monasteries. It was founded in either 1632 or 1665 by Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab, a disciple of Karma Chakmé and the Fifth Dalai Lama.
The monastery specialized in the terma of Ratna Lingpa and the mind treasures (དགོངས་གཏེར་, gong ter) of Tulku Mingyur Dorje (1645-67).
It had about 600 monks before the Chinese invasion. The current head of Palyul Monastery is the Fifth Karma Kuchen.
