| | Chinese Buddhist Electronic Text Association and its Digital Tripitaka: Wittern: JoDI |
| | 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. | | | The aim of CBETA could be stated as 'to provide an electronic edition of Chinese 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 Chinese 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 Chinese Buddhist scriptures. |
