Vajra Bridge
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.

Vajra Bridge; The method of Dzogchen Longde called Dorje Zampa - meaning Vajra Bridge - has many different explanations, but it is used a lot in the Longde practice, and it is characteristic of this teaching.
What does Vajra Bridge mean?
Some people say that it is the bridge between our physical body and the Body of Light, because many Dzogchen Longde practitioners realized the Rainbow Body. When our real physical body dissolves in its real nature, that is, in the lights of the five elements, the manifestation of that dimension is calledRainbow Body. This is one concrete explanation of the term. Another explanation of Vajra Bridge is related more to the method of teachings. The Dzogchen Semde works mainly with direct introduction; the Dzogchen Upadesha, since one already has knowledge, works mostly towards integrating in that state; the Dzogchen Longde is between these two methods, so it connects them like a bridge.
