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.

Pravrajya initial ordaining into the Buddhist monastic order.
After renouncing the world, the shramana or novice puts on yellow robes and utters Trisharana, ie I am taking refuge in the Buddha, the doctrine (Dhamma) and the Sangha.
He leads a holy life and studies the Buddhist scriptures and the ten moral precepts of Buddhism.
At the age of twenty he may get final ordination and become a full-fledged bhiksu or monk.
