A Buddhist Chinese glossary

About this book

"The Buddhist Chinese Glossary provides 1) a diachronic perspective of Buddhist Chinese texts, giving exact place references including text quotations in an historical array; it thus permits 2) verifiability; and it makes the lexicographic material available by 3) digital technique. In its present state, the BCG is not yet a dictionary, but a glossary, containing about 4,000 lemmata, prepared from a representative selection of texts focusing on early Hinayana sutras and legends."--Container.
