The Gospel of Buddha:Chapter 44: Secrecy and Publicity

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.

The Gospel of Buddha:Chapter 44: Secrecy and Publicity

The Buddha said:
"Three things, O disciples,
are characterized by secrecy:
love affairs, priestly wisdom,
and all aberrations from the path of truth. [1]

"Women who are in love, O disciples,
seek secrecy and shun publicity;
priests who claim to be in possession
of special revelations, O disciples,
seek secrecy and shun publicity;
all those who stray from the path of truth, O disciples,
seek secrecy and shun publicity. [2]

"Three things, O disciples,
shine before the world and cannot be hidden.
What are the three? [3]

"The moon, O disciples, illumines the world and cannot be hidden;
the sun, O disciples, illumines the world and cannot be hidden;
and the truth proclaimed by the Tathagata
illumines the world and cannot be hidden.
These three things, O disciples,
illumines the world and cannot be hidden.
There is no secrecy about them." [4]
