Three lineages in the old translation school of the Nyingma tantras
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.

There are three lineages in the old translation school of the Nyingma tantras:
the 'Distant Oral Lineage', from the direct oral teachings of the Buddha;
the 'Near Treasure Lineage' (terma) from teachings of discovered treasure texts, written and concealed in holy places by Guru Rinpoche, Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal and others, for the benefit of future generations, and
the 'Lineage of Profound Pure Visions', from teachings received by various Saints during visions in meditation and post meditation.
