The English translation project of the Buddhist Canon began in January 1982, when Rev. Dr. Yehan Numata, the founder of BDK (Society for the Promotion of Buddhism), established the Editorial Committee of the English Tripi\u1e6daka Translation Project in order to make knowledge of Buddhism available to many people throughout the world. The Buddhist scriptures known as \"sutras\" constitute a part of the Tripi\u1e6daka (three collections). \"Tripi\u1e6daka\" is comprised of the Sutra Pitaka, the Discipline Pitaka, and the Commentary Pi\u1e6daka. \"Pi\u1e6daka\" in \"Tripi\u1e6daka\" means \"collection.\" The Collection of Sutras refers to the teachings taught by the Buddha, the Collection of Discipline refers to the regulations of the lives of monks and nuns, and the Collection of Commentaries refers to the commentaries on the first two collections.<\/p>

The English Translation of the Buddhist Canon is based on the Taisho Buddhist Canon. From 1924, the late Dr. Junjiro Takakusu (1866-1945), who is known as the father of modern Indian Buddhist Studies in Japan, along with the late Rev. Kaikyoku Watanabe (1872-1933) took ten years to compile a great collection of Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures. The collection incorporated the scriptures from India and China as well as important literatures and scriptures of Japanese Buddhism. The academic value of those books are highly regarded in the world as a standard of Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures. translation project of the Buddhist Canon can be said to be one of the greatest heritages of the Oriental world and the project attracted the world's attention even though it had to overcome great difficulties.<\/p>

In addition, \"BDK Daizokyo Text Database\"\" has been released in collaboration with the SAT to promote the dissemination of Finance Sutra. Here, you can use the results of the Finance Economy English translation project on the web. Not only you could access to some English translations, you can also check the English translation of the Tripitaka and Taisho Shinjo's Tripitaka by text and refer to a digital Buddhist dictionary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
