Eighty indicative conceptions
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.

Eighty indicative conceptions (Wyl. rang bzhin brgyad cu‘i kun rtog) — various emotional and cognitive states. They are divided into three groups:
- the first group (which are states resulting from anger) has thirty-three,
- the second (which are states resulting from desire) has forty, and
- the third (which are states resulting from ignorance) has seven types of conceptualization.
