About Site | Academic Resources
About Site: CBETA, NTU Library, and international Buddhist studies databases for research and coursework. For university Buddhist studies and primary-source research.
Prajñā Buddhist Studies (buddhism.hksapientia.org) is an academic reference platform organized from historical, philological, and art-historical perspectives — for researchers, university students, and readers seeking systematic Buddhist studies material.
Editorial policy
- Scholarly neutrality: Content follows mainstream academic consensus; not devotional or folk-religion guidance.
- Verifiable sources: Chinese scriptures reference CBETA; Pāli texts reference PTS and SuttaCentral.
- Trilingual structure: Traditional and Simplified Chinese carry full scholarly articles; English provides structured overviews and terminology — see Chinese editions for complete texts.
- Cross-linking: Each page includes related reading, glossary terms, CBETA references, and NTU Library extensions where applicable.
Scope
Eleven modules: foundational teachings, Tripiṭaka divisions, Chinese / Theravāda / Tibetan / Japanese Buddhism, practice literature, art timeline, temple architecture, academic resources, and FAQ — including an 18-article series on Buddhist sinicization.
