Vasudhara ‘Stream of Treasure’
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.

“Vasudhara is a bestower of sustenance, abundance, and lavish well-being. Her name means ‘Stream of Treasure,’ ‘Flow of Wealth,’ or ‘Shower of Gold.’ She is a rich, warm harvest gold, the color of the sun as it crests the horizon, ripening grain and fruit, and the glitter of jewelry and coins.
She is as bountiful as the earth as she pours forth her treasures in whatever form her devotees require, be it agricultural fertility, wealth, or wisdom. Her golden color signifies her enriching, nourishing, and ultimately enlightening presence.
Vasudhara is the doorkeeper to an invisible realm that can magically materialize riches for those who know the incantations and rites of propitiation. Her compassionate heart, overflowing with love for all beings, gives rise to an endless stream of generosity.
Thus, it cannot be a mystery why, once introduced, the lady of plenty occupied a permanent place in the hearts of lay devotees and the repertoire of monastic and yogic specialists.”
