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.

Ji ; (1) A suffix to a name, meaning temple-monastery. Thus Engaku-ji at Kamakura.
The suffix -In has the same meaning, as in Chion-In, the mother temple of the Jōdo sect.
The suffix -An means a smaller temple within a larger unit, as in Shōden-an, Dr Suzuki’s house in Engaku-ji.
(2) (also pronounced Shi), teacher, as Hakuin Zen-ji, the Zen teacher.
(3) A fact, event, object, particular thing; the opposite to Ri (q.v.), which means principles, rather as spiritual principles. (See Jijimuge.)
