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 Sengé Dradrok (Tib. གུ་རུ་སེང་གེ་སྒྲ་སྒྲོག་, Wyl. gu ru seng ge sgra sgrogs; Eng. 'The Lion's Roar') — one of the Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche.
From A Great Treasure of Blessings, page 30:
- Guru Rinpoche challenged and defeated five hundred upholders of wrong views in debate at Bodhgaya.
He reversed their magic with the aid of a wrathful mantra given him by the lion-faced dakini Marajita.
Guru Senge Dradrok subdues the irrational energies of black magic, curses & hexes, dispelling bad omens, weird vibes, nightmares, or anything that might be too far out there.
In Orissa, he destroyed a lingam with a bolt from his fingertips, ending animal sacrifices in the area.
He symbolizes the power to neutralize both visible and invisible beings and to avert natural disasters.
The wrathful display of Guru 'Lion's Roar' is totally grounded in love and compassion for all sentient beings.
- He is known as Sengé Dradok, 'The Lion's Roar'.
