The Buddha on Nirvana
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.

<poem> There is an unborn, unoriginated, unproduced, unformed.
Were there not this unborn, unoriginated, unproduced, unformed,
there would be no escape from the world of the born, originated, produced, formed.
Since there is an unborn, unoriginated, unproduced, unformed,
therefore is there an escape from the born, originated, produced, formed.
…
Where there is dependence, there is instability;
where there is no dependence, there is no instability.
Where there is no instability, there is quietude;
where there is quietude, there is no desire.
Where there is no desire, there is no coming and going;
where there is no coming or going, there is no birth or death.
Where there is no birth or death,
there is neither this world nor that world, nor both.
That is the end of sorrow.
—Buddha Shakyamuni, Patalagami
