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.

Sangyé Lama (Wyl. sangs rgyas bla ma) (1000-1080) — the first tertön, or revealer of spiritual treasures (termas) hidden by Guru Rinpoche for the benefit of future generations. He was the first incarnation of Gyalsé Lharjé—one of the sons of Mutik Tsenpo and the immediate incarnation of King Trisong Detsen. One of his main termas was Tsa Sum Dril Drup (Wyl. rtsa gsum dril sgrub), which was later rediscovered as a yang ter (Wyl. yang gter) by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo—the thirteenth emanation of Gyalsé Lharjé.
