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.

Samghabhadra 僧伽跋陀羅・衆賢 (n.d.) (Skt; Jpn Sogyabaddara or Shugen)
A monk and scholar of the Sarvastivada school thought to have lived in India around the fourth or fifth century. Born in Kashmir, he is known as the author of The Treatise on Accordance with the Correct Doctrine and A Clarification of Doctrine. To rebut Vasubandhu's Dharma Analysis Treasury, which was at once a systematic exposition on and a criticism of Sarvastivada doctrine, Samghabhadra wrote The Treatise on Accordance with the Correct Doctrine. This was itself a detailed exposition of Sarvastivada doctrine as well as a defense and exaltation of its orthodoxy. Samghabhadra wanted to confront Vasubandhu in debate, but died before realizing that wish.
