Triyana
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.

Triyana (all three turnings of the Wheel of the dharma)
The form of Buddhism which was brought from India to Tibet incorporates all three ways mentioned above. It can therefore be called Triyana Dharma.
Virupa, the Indian mahasiddha (ca. 650 CE) taught there are three views of the path -- as seen by
1. someone working towards self-realization Hinayana
2. someone who intensely wishes to work for the sake of all beings Mahayana and
3. one who sees through the dream-like delusion and realizes non-duality Vajrayana.
