Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment
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.

Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment (Tib. སྐྱིད་སྡུག་ལམ་ཁྱེར་, kyiduk lamkhyer; Wyl. skyid sdug lam khyer) — སྐྱིད་, Kyi means ‘happiness’, སྡུག་, duk means ‘suffering’, ལམ་, lam means ‘path’, and ཁྱེར་, khyer means ‘to carry’ or ‘to take’. Turning Suffering and Happiness into Enlightenment is Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima’s famous instruction on lojong — ’training’ or ‘transforming’ the mind. Whatever comes to us in life, be it happiness or suffering, this extraordinary teaching shows us how to transform and draw the very best out of it, and use it for our ultimate benefit and the benefit of others.
