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.

Tsadra Foundation is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization.
Founded in New York in 2000, the foundation offers programs and scholarships to develop and nurture Tibetan Buddhism in the west. Lama Drupgyu Tenzin (Drupgyu Anthony Chapman), a student of Kalu Rinpoche, is the director of programs.
One of the foundation's aims is to make authentic and authoritative texts from the Tibetan traditions available in English and as such has published a series of biographies and Gsung-'bum in conjunction with Snow Lion Publications.
The foundation's name comes from Jamgön Kongtrül hermitage called Tsa’dra Rinchen Drak.
It was here that Jamgön Kongtrül wrote his Five Great Treasuries.
