Twofold purity
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.

Twofold purity (Tib. དག་པ་གཉིས་ལྡན་, Wyl. dag pa gnyis ldan) —
- Firstly, purity in the sense that it is always pure by its very nature (Tib. ངོ་བོ་ཡེ་དག་, ngowo yé dak; Wyl. ngo bo ye dag), and secondly, purity in the sense that all the adventitious stains have been purified (Tib. གློ་བུར་བྲལ་དག་, lobur dral dak; Wyl. glo bur bral dag).
- Alternatively, the phrase twofold purity can refer to purity of the two kinds of obscuration, emotional and cognitive.
