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.

Guru Nyima Özer (Tib. གུ་རུ་ཉི་མ་འོད་ཟེར་, Wyl. gu ru nyi ma 'od zer; Eng. 'Rays of the Sun') — one of the Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche.
From A Great Treasure of Blessings, page 30:
- Guru Rinpoche manifested as a number of great siddhas, such as Saroruha — the master who revealed the Hevajra Tantra—as well as Saraha, Dombiheruka, Virupa, and Krishnacharin. Guru Nyima Odzer is associated with mystical experiences and spiritual realization. He travelled widely visiting the eight great charnel grounds, the 32 major power places, wilderness areas and even cities. Guru 'Sun Ray' discovers the secrets of the inner structure of the body-mind through direct knowledge of the winds, drops and channels (rLung, Thig-le, rTsa) which ripens together with the awakening of primordial wisdom. All experience is reflected in these three dynamic elements.
- In charnel grounds like Kuladzokpa, 'Perfected in Body', he taught the secret mantra to dakinis and made outer and inner spirits into protectors of the Dharma. He was then known as Nyima Özer, 'Rays of the Sun'.
