Digital Dictionary of Buddhism
The Digital Dictionary of Buddhism (DDB) is a compilation of Chinese ideograph-based terms, texts, temple, schools, persons, etc. found in Buddhist canonical sources.
The DDB website also hosts the Chinese-Japanese-Korean-Vietnamese/English Dictionary [CJKV-E], which is a compilation of Chinese ideographs, as well as ideograph-comprised compound words, text names, person names, etc., found primarily in the Confucian and Daoist classics. It also includes vocabulary from Neo-Confucian texts, as well as other philosophical and historical sources. Its information on individual ideographs is intended to be comprehensive, containing pronunciations and meanings from ancient and modern sources from the Sinitic cultural sphere including China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Modern-day compound words are included incidentally, but the coverage of modern materials is not intended to be comprehensive.[1]
The DDB website is maintained and edited by A. Charles Muller.
