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.

World Freedom King
世自在王仏 (Skt Lokeshvararaja; Jpn Sejizaio-butsu)
A Buddha described in the Buddha Infinite Life Sutra, one of the primary texts of the Pure Land teachings. According to that sutra, Amida Buddha, taking the name Dharma Treasury, carried out Buddhist practice in a previous existence under the Buddha World Freedom King. At that time, in the presence of the Buddha World Freedom King, Dharma Treasury made forty-eight vows concerning the characteristics his Buddha land would embody when he attained supreme enlightenment.
