Pasada
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.

pasada / prasada; The cure for samvega is pasada / prasada, a word of uncertain etymology. Pasada was the Buddha’s mental state after the fourth encounter, with a renunciate religious contemplative. Prasada is also one of three words in the Lotus Sutra translated as faith. Sino-japanese translations include pure faith 淨信 {joshin}, sincere faith 信心 {shinjin}, and confidence 信受 {shinju}. Note that Prasada is not denial. It is not bargaining, nor is is resignation or acceptance of one’s fate. </poem>
