| | Medieval <b>Chineseb> Buddhist scriptural commentary served many functions, only one of which was the exegesis of the text. | | | Buddhist Hermeneutics (Univ. of Hawaii Press, 1988), some of the contributions to Robert E. Buswell, Jr., ed., <b>Chineseb> Buddhist Apocrypha (Univ. of Hawaii Press, 1990), and Michael Fuss' Buddhavacana and Dei Verbum: A Phenomenological Comparison of Scriptural Inspiration in the Saddharmapundarika Sutra and in the Christian Tradition (E.J. Brill, 1991). | | | All of this, however-the intentionality, the structure, the mechanism of the <b>Chineseb> Buddhist sutra commentary-is little understood because we modern scholars, baffled by such texts and naturally drawn to the easier accessibility of the tradition's more systematic treatise literature, have generally avoided the systematic study of commentaries. |

| | <b>Chineseb> Buddhist Electronic Text Association and its Digital Tripitaka: Wittern: JoDI |
| | The aim of CBETA could be stated as 'to provide an electronic edition of <b>Chineseb> Buddhist texts that is as accurate and reliable as possible, and that can serve as a foundation for further work both in Buddhist Studies and for Buddhist communities'. | | | In February 1998, the <b>Chineseb> Buddhist Electronic Texts Association (CBETA) was founded by Venerable Heng-ching, Taiwan University, and Venerable Hui-min, National Institute of the Arts, to coordinate efforts in Taiwan and promote the creation of a new scholarly digital edition of the <b>Chineseb> Buddhist scriptures. | | | Buddhist texts pose a somewhat unique problem on top of all this: since Buddhism came to span so many cultural and linguistic barriers over such a long period of time, the diversity of Buddhist primary sources is extraordinary. |
