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 work and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.
Thank you for helping us keep this Dharma project alive and available to everyone.

Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was one of the most well-known and influential Indian thinkers of the 20th century. His philosophy emphasised what he called ‘choiceless awareness,’ self-realization, the immediate apprehension of the truth and a rejection of organized religion. Many Buddhists, particularly those interested in meditation, have found great similarities between some of Krishnamurti’s ideas and those of the Buddha. Krishnamurti denied that he had ever even read a book on Buddhism and rarely mentioned it throughout his long teaching career. Nonetheless, in the last public talk he gave before his death he said: ‘If I knew the Buddha was speaking here tomorrow, nothing in the world could stop me from going to listen to him. And I would follow him to the very end.’
