Ten factors that illustrate omniscience
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 factors that illustrate omniscience — the first ten of the seventy points covered in the Abhisamayalankara, which illustrate omniscience, the first of the eight topics.
- The generation of bodhichitta (Tib. སེམས་བསྐྱེད་པ་, semkyepa), which is the nature of the mahayana path,
- The spiritual instructions (Tib. གདམས་ངག་, damngag), which are the method for attaining its objective,
- The four aspects of definite separation (Tib. ངེས་འབྱེད་ཡན་ལག་རྣམ་བཞི་, ngeje yenlag nam shi), which come about as a result of the instructions,
- The Buddha potential, the nature of the dharmadhatu (Tib. ཆོས་ཀྱི་དབྱིངས་ཀྱི་རང་བཞིན་, chö ki ying kyi rangshin) , which is the basis for attaining accomplishment (Tib. སྒྲུབ་པའི་རྟེན་གྱུར་པ་, drubpe tengyurpa) by practising the instructions unerringly,
- [Accomplishing the] activities of engagement (Tib. འཇུག་པའི་བྱ་བ་, jugpe jawa)
- [The practice of] accumulation (Tib. ཚོགས, tsog) and
- [The practice of] definite emergence (Tib. ངེས་པར་འབྱུང་, ngepar jung).
