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.

Zhichen Bairo Rinpoche (Wyl. gzhi chen bai ro rin po che), Jamyang Tenpé Gyaltsen, the third Zhichen Bairochana, was recognized by Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö as the thirty-sixth incarnation of the lotsawa Vairotsana. He is an important holder of the Katok lineage. His main seat is Zhichen Kharmar Sangag Tangye Ling in Golok, one of the major branches of Katok Dorje Den Monastery in eastern Tibet. Zhichen has its own group of over twenty branch monasteries throughout the region.
Bairo Rinpoche received the Nyingtik Yabshyi and other cycles of the secret Nyingtik teachings from Khenpo Ngawang Palzang[1]. He also received teachings from Tuksé Nyidha Zangpo, Tulku Kunzang Nyima, Katok Khenpo Sherab, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, Katok Getse Gyurme Tenpa Namgyal, Chaktsa Rinpoche Pema Trinlé Gyatso, Rakor Khenpo Drimé Özer of Getse, Katok Khenpo Gyaltsen Özer, Katok Situ Shedrup Chökyi Nyima, Minling Chung Rinpoche, Minling Khen Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche and Lodrak Namkhai Nyingpo.
Bairo Rinpoche teaches for one month every year at his new seat, Zhichen Bairo Ling, in Kathmandu. During the recent resurgence of the teachings in Tibet, Bairo Rinpoche has been working closely with Zhichen Ontrul Rinpoche, a student of Tulku Tsullo[2]. Zhichen Monastery in Tibet is currently being rebuilt under the direction of Bairo Rinpoche’s son, the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa.
