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.

Lhodrakarchu Monastery is a Buddhist Monastery in Bumthang District in central Bhutan. The Monastery overlooks Jakar Dzong and the town of Jakar.
The Monastery is a recent construction, and began being built in the 1990s in the traditional Dzong architectural style following funding from international and Bhutanese donors. As of 2006 the Monastery was still not entirely completed. Nevertheless the Monastery is home to about 250 Monks, many of them children and young adults. The Monastery follows the lineage of the Namkhe Nyingpo Rinpoche, which is said to be descened from a Disciple of Guru Rinpoche in the 8th century.
