Aspiration to be Reborn in the Pure Realm of Sukhavati

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.

The Aspiration to be Reborn in the Pure Realm of Sukhavati (Tib. རྣམ་དག་བདེ་ཆེན་ཞིང་གི་སྨོན་ལམ་, Wyl. rnam dag bde chen zhing gi smon lam) aka Dechen Mönlam or Dé Mön (བདེ་སྨོན་, bde smon), by Karma Chakmé Rinpoche (aka Raga Asé) is perhaps the most famous aspiration prayer to be reborn in Sukhavati, the heaven of Amitabha, in the Tibetan tradition.
