Zen story: Everything is just an illusion
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.

Master is sitting outside steps of temple watching his number one pupil meditating in the courtyard and quietly enjoying smoking his pipe.
Suddenly pupil opens eyes and exclaims. Master, Master, I have it, I have it. I know the answer to everything.
You do? Asked Master, and what is it?
Everything is just an illusion Master, all is just illusion.
Master gets up and approaches student while Pulling hard in his pipe and as he was passing student, turns the contents of his red hot pipe out on top of the nice bald head and bang the pipe down hard to empty it well showering students bald head with burning embers.
Student jumps up, shouting, Master, what are you trying to do. I'm burning all over. Are you trying to kill me. What's the matter with you??
