Saddhammopāyana
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.

The Saddhammopāyana (Gift of the Good Dhamma) is a Pāḷi poem composed in Sri Lanka in 12th century. The author, Mahāthera Ānanda is thought to have been a monk of the Abhayagiri sect rather than a Theravadin. The poem has 621 verses in 19 chapters dealing with subjects such as the benefits of generosity, meditation, rejoicing in the good of others, teachings the Dhamma to others, etc. and seems to have been written with monks and lay people in mind.
Saddhammopāyana, translated by A. A. Hazlewood, Journal of the Pali Text Society, 1988.
