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.

隆真 (n.d.)
Also known as Butcho-bo.
A priest of the Tendai school in the early Kamakura period (1185-1333) who lived at Enryaku-ji temple on Mount Hiei in Japan.
At Enryaku-ji he was appointed discussion supervisor, whose function it was to select topics for and oversee Buddhist discussions among the priests.
He criticized as evil the exclusive practice of the Nembutsu, or calling on the name of Amida Buddha, set forth by Honen, the founder of the Japanese Pure Land (Jodo) school.
Some credit A Refutation of "The Nembutsu Chosen above All," a work critical of the doctrine of the exclusive practice of the Nembutsu, to Ryushin.
