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.

Mahasiddha Anangapa… Ananga / Anangapa (ana ngi): “The Handsome Fool”
Ananga was born in Gahura into a low caste family. Due to his past life karma, he was born very handsome, and because everyone admired him, be became proud. One day, a monk came to his place to ask for alms. Ananga invited the monk and asked the monk to return everyday to be served by him. When the monk came back, as Ananga promised, he looked after the monk. A conversation
began, and it leads on until Ananga requested the monk to give him a method to develop the qualities of faith. Ananga gave up his worldly activities and promised to meditate, where upon the guru initiated him into the Cakrasamvara and gave instructions on how to clarify the six sense fields.
He meditated and gained siddhi in 6 months. He worked for the benefit of living beings and finally went to the realm of the Dakas.
