Svabhavikakaya
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.

Svabhavikakaya (Skt. svābhāvikakāya; Tib. ངོ་བོ་ཉིད་སྐུ་, ngowo nyi ku; Wyl. ngo bo nyid sku) is one of the four kayas of a buddha.
Khenpo Pema Vajra says:
- The svabhavikakaya, is defined as the aspect of enlightened form that is distinguished by two-fold purity, the natural purity of basic space of reality and the purification of all temporary stains.
It is the ultimate buddha kaya.
Its wisdom aspect is called the wisdom dharmakaya.
And its appearance as a form kaya complete with fivefold certainty in the perception of pure beings is the sambhogakaya.
Its appearance as a form kaya to impure beings is the nirmanakaya.
