The Japanese Historical Text Initiative

The Japanese Historical Text Initiative (JHTI) is a rapidly expanding database made up of historical texts dating back more than 1200 years. The original version of every paragraph in every text is cross-tagged with its English translation, making it possible for any researcher to see, on the same screen, both the original and English translation of any word or phrase appearing in any JHTI text.

Tibetan Texts and Sutras

This web page links to sources of Tibetan texts and sutras.

From the web page:
The Tibetan canon of essential Buddhist scripture consists of two parts:

The Kangyur ("Translation of the Buddha's Word")--the texts that are attributed to the Buddha. Esteemed and woshipped for centuries in Tibet, it is regarded as the single most authoritative repository of Buddhist thought by Tibetan speakers throughout Asia and beyond.

The Tengyur ("Translations of treatises")--traditional commentaries attributed to subsequent learned and realized masters of Buddhism.

Mahayana Texts and Sutras

"Mahayana sutras began to be compiled from the first century BCE. They form the basis of the various Mahayana schools, and survive predominantly in primary translations in Chinese and Tibetan of original texts in Sanskrit. From the Chinese and Tibetan texts, secondary translations were also made into Mongolian, Korean, Japanese and Sogdian.

Unlike the Pali Canon, there is no definitive Mahayana canon as such. Nevertheless the major printed or manuscript collections, published through the ages and preserved in Chinese and Tibetan, each contain parallel translations of the majority of known Mahayana sutra. The Chinese also wrote several indigenous sutras and included them into their Mahayana canon.

Barre Center for Buddhist Studies

From the web site:

"Barre Center for Buddhist Studies offers residential and online courses combining study, discussion, and meditation for connecting sangha, supporting curiosity, and expanding and deepening personal practice.

Because the majority of BCBS offerings are held only partly in silence, teachers and students have the opportunity to connect over meals, in small groups, and out around the grounds.

All are welcome. No specific study or practice experience is required for the vast majority of our courses."

Buddhist Digital Resource Center

"BDRC has developed a series of strategically aligned programs to implement its expanded mission. In the coming years, BDRC will:

1. Identify important Buddhist text collections as recommended by our Board of Advisors and create a definitive plan for their preservation.
2. Build the Buddhist Universal Digital Archive, an encompassing digital repository and preservation ecosystem to archive and connect many Buddhist text collections in many different languages, starting with Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Tibetan. BUDA will include:
   • A central bibliographic database for Buddhist texts based on linked open data.
   • A digital archive scanned source texts and searchable eTexts.
3. Create an open platform for accessing, sharing and searching the archive using state of the art digital library methodologies.
4. Foster a community of scholars, technologists, practitioners, and a global public committed to preservation."
