Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia:About

A key function for the CBE is cultural preservation. In these rapidly changing times, where computers and the internet pose a great threat to traditional forms of Buddhist learning, it is necessary to gather all available materials, translate them and digitize them.

It is important for the founders that well-educated, senior Buddhist monastics and academics would be involved in the project to provide assistance, ideas, advice and “quality- control”. They will help ensure the Buddhist view and essence of the materials presented will not lose their religious (Buddhist) value, and that published materials will not insult anyone’s religious beliefs or values.

It is important for the CBE team to stay independent from any personal, political, or dogmatic views.
