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.

Panaha was a low caste from Sandhonagara who made a living by making boots.
On day, he saw a yogin with great mystical powers begging for alms. He immediately took faith in the yogin and followed the yogin into a quiet cemetery.
The guru then asked why Panaha had followed him to the cemetery, in reply, the bootmaker requested for the teachings of Dharma.
So the yogin preached the misery of samsara and the benefits of liberation.
When the bootmaker asked for a method of liberation from samsara, the yogin gave the initiation which transfers blessings, and gave instructions to take desirable objectives as the path.
Panaha understood his guru’s instructions and started meditating on it.
9 years passed, and he the stains which obstruct the path of sight, then attained siddhi.
He became a famous teacher of the path through narrating his experiences.
After working for the benefit of living being for 800 years, he went to the realm of the Dakas with 800 disciples.
