Calamity of invasion from foreign lands
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.

calamity of invasion from foreign lands
他国侵逼難 ( Jpn takoku-shimpitsu-nan )
Also, foreign invasion. One of the seven disasters described in the Medicine Master Sutra. In On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land, written in 1260, Nichiren predicted that this and the calamity of revolt within one's own domain would occur if the rulers of Japan failed to accept the correct teaching. His prediction of foreign invasion was realized in the form of invasions by the Mongol Empire in 1274 and in 1281.
