Why do Korean Zen Buddhists bow 108 times?
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.

We have 6 doors of perception:
sight,
sound,
smell,
touch,
taste and
thought.
There are 3 aspects of time:
past,
present and
future.
There are 2 conditions of the heart/mind:
pure or
impure.
There are 3 possible attitudes:
like,
dislike and
indifference.
Korean Buddhists use this formula 6 x 3 x 2 x 3 = 108 bows to cut through our Karma.
