Yashima-ji
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.

A branch temple of Ninna-ji in Kyoto, it is the eighty-fourth temple on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage.
It is said to have been founded as a Ritsu school temple by Ganjin in 754, and to have been converted by Kōbō Daishi.
The 5x5 bay irimoya-zukuri tiled Hondō (1618) has been designated an Important Cultural Property.
A Heian period wooden seated statue of Senjū Kannon and the temple bell (1223) are also Important Cultural Properties.
