Nichiu
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.

Nichiu; 日有; (1402–1482); The ninth chief priest of Taiseki-ji, the head temple of the Nikko school (also known as the Fuji school), or what today is called Nichiren Shoshu, in Japan. A land dispute between two factions of priests had lasted for seventy years at the temple after the death of Nichimoku, the third chief priest. Nichiu contributed to the restoration of Taiseki-ji, repairing its buildings and educating the priests. He went to Echigo, on the Sea of Japan, and to Kyoto to propagate the teachings. In 1432 he submitted a letter of remonstration to the emperor. He instructed the priests from various areas on the formalities of the school, and his disciple NanjoNichiju compiled those instructions as Reverend Nichiu's Teachings on the Formalities.
