Four serious faults
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.

- taking the head of the row of scholars, i.e.to assume a higher rank than one has
- appropriating a tantrika's wealth
- accepting the homage of a fully ordained monk
- eating the practitioner's food (this only refers to the specific situation where eating the provisions of a practitioner who is short of food and who has decided, "With this amount of food I can practise x number of months," will make his or her food run out prematurely)
