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.

Vishvakarman
毘首羯磨天 (Skt; Jpn Bishukatsuma-ten)
A god said to live in the Heaven of the Thirty-three Gods on the summit of Mount Sumeru and who serves Shakra. According to The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom, when Shakyamuni was practicing the paramita of almsgiving as King Shibi in a past existence, the god Shakra assumed the form of a hawk, and Vishvakarman, that of a dove, to test the king's sincerity. Vishvakarman is regarded as the god of sculpture and architecture and the patron of artisans.
