Three kinds of laziness
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 work and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.
Thank you for helping us keep this Dharma project alive and available to everyone.

Three kinds of laziness (Wyl. le lo gsum) — factors that are incompatible with diligence.
- the laziness of lethargy or inactivity (snyom las 'dzin pa'i le lo)
- the laziness of attachment to negative behaviour (bya ba ngan pa zhen gyi le lo)
- the laziness of self-discouragement or despondency (sgyid lug bdag nyid brnyas pa'i le lo)
Overcoming the Three Kinds of Laziness
Patrul Rinpoche says:
- "Spurred on by the hook of impermanence, you can overcome the laziness of inactivity.
- The laziness of attachment to negative behaviour can be overcome by thinking about the joys of the sacred Dharma.
- The laziness of self-discouragement can be overcome by encouraging yourself and bolstering your self-confidence."
