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 Nalanda Translation Committee was founded in 1975 by the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche—supports the dharma activity of the Vidyadhara and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Shambhala International, its students, and the practice and study of Buddhist and Shambhala teachings by:
Creating fresh and authentic translations of Tibetan practice texts and commentaries in English, and supporting their translation into other Western languages
Translating from a variety of other genres of Tibetan Buddhist literature, including biographies, songs of realization, philosophy, and culture
Publishing those texts with a high standard of quality
Assisting with their transmission through teaching activities and the creation of supporting materials
Helping with the performance of Buddhist and Shambhala ceremonies
When we translate works for the public of the Buddhist and Shambhala teachings, we use the name Nalanda Translation Committee. For translations restricted to certain levels of vajrayana or Shambhala practice, we use the name Vajravairochana Translation Committee.
