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.

Ten children I bore from this physical heap.
Then weak from that, aged,
I went to a nun.
She taught me the Dhamma: Aggregates, sense spheres, elements.
Hearing the Dhamma, I cut off my Hair and ordained.
Having purified the divine eye while still a probationer, I know my previous lives, where I lived in the past.
I develop the theme-less Meditation: well-focused singleness.
I gain the Liberation of immediacy — from lack of clinging, unbound.
The five aggregates, comprehended, stand like a tree with its root cut through.
I spit on old age.
There is now no further becoming.
