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 Jātakamālā, ‘Garland of Jātakas’ is a retelling of 34 Jātaka stories written in Sanskrit in the 4th century CE by the Monk Āryasūra. It is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Sanskrit literature. Many of the carved panels on the great stūpa of Borobudur on the island of Java in Indonesia depict scenes from the Jātakamālā.
