Vajra Bodhi Sea
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.

" Vajra Bodhi Sea"? "Vajra" is said to be the hardest substance in existence. The nearest thing to Vajra that's known in our world is diamond, which is extremely hard crystalline carbon. How then could a "sea" be "diamond"? It is adamantine in its immutability; and moreover, the light of Prajna sparkles upon the waves like the facets of a diamond, reflecting light endlessly. "Bodhi" is the awakened realization of Buddhas. Thus the Diamond Sea of Bodhi is no less than the infinite ocean of enlightenment; the brilliant, magnificent, timeless Buddha-nature.
