Buddhanet launches Buddhist eLibrary
By Justin Whitaker , Patheos, December 27,
2013
Sydney, Australia -- This week, the
well-known Buddhist web resource Buddhanet launched a mobile site: Buddhist
eLibrary.
Merry Christmas to us. (fyi, Access to Insight can also be
downloaded in full here for android and on itunes for iphones, or to your
computer for offline browsing.)
The eLibrary is currently fairly sparse in its offerings and available online
in 5 languages: English, Chinese, Thai, Portuguese, and Spanish, but further
languages and materials are planned.
The site represents the combined efforts of the Buddha Dharma Education
Association Inc. (BDEA), which is located at the Bodhi Tree Forest Monastery,
NSW Australia, currently in partnership with Mahachulalongkorn University,
International Buddhist College (IBC), and the Buddhist Maha Vihara (BMV).
Buddhanet and the eLibrary seek to “support the globalisation of Buddhist
education and the systematic development of Dharma based pedagogy by
establishing partnerships with Buddhist institutions worldwide. The eLibrary
follows the principle of ‘One Dharma’, that is, promoting all Buddhist
traditions and the diversity of cultures and languages they represent.”
