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.

善見城 (Skt Sudarshana; Jpn Zenken-jo; Wyl. legs mthong)
Also known as Joyful to See or Good to See. The abode of the god Shakra located in the center of the Heaven of the Thirty-three Gods on the peak of Mount Sumeru. This palace is described in detail in The
Great Commentary on the Abhidharma, The Dharma Analysis Treasury, and other Buddhist texts. Each of the palace's four sides measures twenty-five hundred yojanas and its height one-and-a-half yojanas. The grounds of
the palace are made of gold and are adorned with a hundred kinds of jewels. A gate is placed every ten yojanas around the palace; there are a thousand gates in all, each of which is guarded by five hundred
yakshas. Within the palace grounds, there is a building called Superior Palace, and to the southwest there is the Hall of the Good Law.
