Two merits
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.

May blessings shower down on all of yous 🙏🙏🙏
two merits (Skt: divi sambhara ; Tib: tsok nyi)
Also called the two accumulations or two types of merit, they are:
the merit of virtue, (also called the merit of fortune or the collection of merit) (Skt: punyasambhara; Tib: sö-nam kyi-tsok), which develops the method side of the path by practicing generosity and so forth, and the merit of (transcendental) wisdom (also called the collection of wisdom) (Skt: jndnasambhdra; Tib: yeshe kyi-tsok), which develops the wisdom side of the path by meditation on emptiness and so forth.
