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.

Purna Maitrayani-putra (Chinese: 滿慈子; pinyin: Mǎn Cízǐ), also called Puṇṇa, was an arahant and one of the ten leading disciples of the Buddha.
When asked by the Buddha what he would think if people were to assault or kill him, each time Puṇṇa explained how he would find himself fortunate.
As a result, the Buddha commended Puṇṇa on his self-control and peacefulness.
Puṇṇa went on to establish a thousand lay followers in the Buddha's teaching.
Upon Puṇṇa's death, the Buddha discerned that Puṇṇa had attained final Nibbana.
