Uruvilva Kashyapa
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.

Uruvilva Kashyapa
優楼頻螺迦葉 (Skt; Pali UruvelaKassapa; Jpn Uru-binra-kasho)
One of Shakyamuni Buddha's early converts. Before conversion, he is said to have practiced fire worship. When the Buddha went to Uruvilvato preach, UruvilvaKashyapa, together with his two brothers, NadiKashyapa and GayaKashyapa, became his follower. All three brothers were leaders among Brahman ascetics, and when UruvilvaKashyapa converted, his five hundred disciples followed suit.
