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."

Bodhi College

From the Bodhi College web site:

"Bodhi College is a European educational centre for meditative learning. Our inspiration stems from a Dharma as found in the early strata of Buddhist texts. For the time being, Bodhi College is spatially virtual; it acts as an umbrella for a number of teaching activities held in different venues, led by a core and visiting faculty.

A Vision

Over the past forty years, a growing number of people from all walks of life have been drawn to Buddhist ideas, values and practices. With the introduction of mindfulness into healthcare, education, business and other fields, Buddhist meditation is now entering the mainstream of modern societies to an unprecedented degree. 

An education

Bodhi College offers an ethical and philosophical framework for those practising meditation and the Dharma in today’s world by drawing on the early teachings of the Buddha before they became codified into the doctrines of the different Buddhist traditions.

The College is non-sectarian and unaligned with any Buddhist orthodoxy or particular school. While making use of modern critical scholarship, our goals are not academic. We offer a contemplative education that inspires students to realise the values of the Dharma in the context of this secular age and culture."
