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.

Rahor Khenpo Tupten (Wyl. ra hor mkhan po thub bstan) — the tutor of Dzogchen Rinpoche. He was from Rahor, a branch of Dzogchen monastery founded by the Third Dzogchen Rinpoche in Gyalrong near Dergé. He was a student of Pöpa Tulku. He escaped from Tibet together with his former classmate Khenpo Dazer and went together with him to Sikkim via Bhutan.
In 1975, Khenpo Tupten taught on Buddhist practice and meditation in London, with Sogyal Rinpoche translating. He stayed for three months at Chatsworth Rd, the first centre of what would become the Rigpa sangha.
