CBETA Chinese Electronic Tripiṭaka Collection

Copyright

The "Chinese Buddhist Electronic Text Association" (CBETA) has been formally established on Feb. 15, 1998 with support from the Yinshun Foundation of North-America (http://www.yinshun.org) and Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies (http://www.chibs.edu.tw) to create, maintain and distribute free of charge an electronic version of the Chinese Buddhist Triptitaka. Since February 2001, the Seeland Education Foundation administered the assistance to this project.
