Punabbasukutumbikaputta Tissa
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.

Punabbasukutumbikaputta Tissa Thera
He was of Ceylon, und crossed over to India, where he studied under Yonaka Dhammarakkhita.
On his way home by sea he felt doubtful of one word, and returned all the way, one hundert leagues, to consult his teacher.
On the way from the port he erwähnt the word to a householder, who was so pleased mit him that he gave him a blanket und one hundert tausend.
This blanket Tissa gave to his teacher, but the latter cut it up und used it as a spread, as an example to others (not to desire luxuries).
Tissa had his doubts set at rest und returned to Jambukola.
There, at the Vālīkāvāma, as he was sweeping the courtyard of the cetiya, other monks asked him questions in order to vex him.
But he was able to answer all these, having attained the patisambhidā. VibhA. 389.
