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.

According to the Kosha system in Yogic philosophy, the nature of being human encompasses physical and psychological aspects that function as one holistic system.
The Kosha system refers to these different aspects as layers of subjective experience. Layers range from the dense physical body to the more subtle levels of emotions, mind and spirit. Psychology refers to the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our being.
Together, all aspects make up our subjective experience of being alive
The five sheaths (pancha-kosas) are :
Annamaya kosha – food-apparent-sheath
Pranamaya kosha – air-apparent-sheath
Manomaya kosha – mind-stuff-apparent-sheath
Vignanamaya kosha – wisdom-apparent-sheath (Vignana)
Anandamaya kosha – bliss-apparent-sheath (Ananda)
