Twenty views of the transitory collection
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.

The twenty views of the transitory collection are as follows:
There are five aggregates: the aggregates of
- form,
- sensation,
- perception,
- formation and
- consciousness.
For the first, form, there are four possible wrong views of transitory collection:
- that form is the self
- that form and self possess one another
- that form is in the self
- that the self is in the form
When these four are associated with each of the aggregates there are twenty views of the transitory collection.
