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.

place of practice
道場 (Jpn dojo )
A place where one carries out Buddhist practice to gain enlightenment. This term, which appears often in Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures, may also be translated as "place of the way." Initially, this referred to the place where one gains "the way" or enlightenment, and specifically the place under the pippala, or bodhi , tree where Shakyamuni entered into meditation and gained enlightenment. This is referred to in Sanskrit as bodhimanda, literally, the seat of enlightenment. Hence it is also called the place of meditation, or the place of enlightenment.
