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.

Tenpa Phuntsok was born in Kulhan, Dehra Dun in 1986. His father is Pema Namgyal and his mother is Kunsang Wangmo. He went to school in Dehra Dun until Class 2 and then became a monk at Tashi Kyil Monastery at the age of eight. For sixteen years he studied Buddhist rituals and philosophy while also working at the monastery. He recently finished his studies of the Six Perfections and is presently studying the Middle Way Philosophy at the Dharma Institute at Tashi Kyil Monastery. If you are fortunate enough to attend the “Let’s Travel to Tibet” program presented by the monks, you will see that Tenpa plays the role of the Yak herder and also the tamer of the Snow Lion. Tenpa was a member of the 2011 Tashi Khil Tour Group. He speaks excellent English and serves as translator of the 2013 Tour Group.
