Sagan Setsen
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.

(also Ssanan Ssetsen; full name and title Sa-gang Erkhe Setsen Chungtaidschi). Born 1604; date of death unknown. Mongol chronicler. Sovereign prince in Ordos.
In 1662, Sagan Setsen wrote a long chronicle, Erdeniin tobchi (The Jeweled Button), which is an important source for the history of medieval Mongolia.
Sagan Setsen sympathized with the Chahar khan Legden in the struggle against the Manchus; this gave rise to the Ordos Mongol legend of Sagan Setsen’s resistance to the Manchus and his death at the hands of a Manchu emissary.
