In 2024, The Treasury of Lives was visited by over 10,000 users each month. If only a fraction of our users donated, we would ensure our long-term sustainibility as an open access resource.
We're asking you, our valued reader, to pitch in whatever you can to help us keep this site freely available. A monthly donation of $10 will go a long way toward helping The Treasury of Lives stay online and expand.
The TBRC RID number refers to the unique ID assigned by the Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center (TBRC.org) to each historical figure in their database of Tibetan literature.
