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.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, arūpa (a Sanskrit word), refers to formless (perhaps non-physical) or also non-material objects or subjects. Ether (akasha in Sanskrit) is somewhat arūpa , while the classical elements are rupa
Formless, Incorporeal. Arūpalokas: The highest meditative worlds, where form cognizable by the five senses does not exist, being purely mental. Arūparāga: attachment to the formless meditative worlds; the Seventh Fetter on the Path. (See Fetters, Four Paths.)
