True Aspectarians
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.

True Aspectarians (Skt. satyākāravādin; Tib. རྣམ་བདེན་པ་, namdenpa; Wyl. rnam bden pa) are followers of the Chittamatra School who believe in the reality of mental features or aspects (རྣམ་པ་, rnam pa). Mind is therefore divided into two: the apprehended, objective aspect (Tib. བཟུངས་བའི་སེམས་, zungwé sem) and the apprehending, subjective aspect (Tib. འཛིན་པའི་སེམས་, dzinpé sem). They say that the subjective mind is real and the apprehended aspects of mind which appear as external are also real.
