Ear-whispered Lineage Of The Great Individuals
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.

The Ear-whispered Lineage Of The Great Individuals, which are the teachings of the Nirmanakaya Buddha, originating from the Five Buddha families to the great human emanation master:
Garab Dorje, and then to
Manjushrimitra,
Shrisimha,
Padmasambhava,
Jnanasutra,
Vimalamitra and
Vairochana.
This lineage then started and continued in Tibet, and continues through the present day.
This is sometimes called the Whispering Lineage, not because the master literally whispered the teaching to his pupil, but rather in reference to the continuum of verbal transmission to a select number of high calibre students.
Tilopa in turn gave the whispered teachings to Naropa who had previously been chancellor of Nalanda University in India.
Naropa's twelve years of service to Tilopa are regarded as a great example of devotion to one's teacher.
Ear-whispered Lineage; whispered lineage; Human Whispered Lineage corresponds to the teachings of the Emanation Body, originating from the Five Buddha Families.
They were passed on to Shrisimha, who transmitted them to Guru Rinpochey, who in giving them to Vimalamitra started the lineage which has continued in Tibet until the present day.
