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.

All manifestations of phenomenal reality are:
1. Impermanent (anitya)--i.e., produced by causes, not self-subsistent, and subject to eventual decay. This does not deny their provisional reality WHILE they are in existence, what it does deny is that anything is impervious to change.
2. Frustrating (duhkha)--Because human beings strive to attain permanent happiness in an impermanent world, this inevitably creates frustration, dissatisfaction, stress, and difficulty.
3. Without Self (anatman)--The human being is just as impermanent as all other temporal phenomena. Buddhists do not deny the existence of a provisional personality, what they deny is the existence of an eternal, unchanging self. Instead, the human personality is seen as the aggregate of the Five skandhas .
