Ten Stages of a Bodhisattva's Progress
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 Stages of a Bodhisattva's Progress
They are the following:
(1) Joy at having overcome former difficulties and at now entering the path to Buddhahood;
(2) Freedom from all possible defilement, the stage of purity;
(3) The stage of further enlightenment;
(4) Glowing wisdom;
(5) Mastery of the utmost or final difficulties;
(6) The open way of wisdom that is beyond purity and impurity;
(7) Proceeding afar, above the concept of "self" in order to save others;
(8) Attainment of calm imperturbability;
(9) Achievement of the finest discriminatory wisdom; knowing, expediently, where and how to save; possessing the ten powers;
(10) Attainment of the fertilizing powers of the Law Cloud.
