《大寶積經．無邊莊嚴會．清淨陀羅尼品》：
「願諸眾生得此無上佛法利益，我等當令一切眾生於諸佛法常不缺減。」

(CBETA, T11, no. 310, p. 41c19-20)

( Mahāratnakūṭa Sūtra: "May sentient beings obtain the benefit of this unsurpassed Buddha-dharma; we shall ensure that all beings never suffer any lack or decrease in the teachings of all Buddhas." )

If the Dharma neither increases nor decreases, why do we receive it in an incomplete or diminished form?

Over centuries of transmission—through oral recitation, hand-copying, and woodblock printing—recorded teachings were vulnerable to physical damage, human error, and loss. Consequently, the Dharma passed down through physical texts could become incomplete.

In the past, sacred canons were locked deep within monastic archives—treasured symbols far out of reach for the public. Yet we believe the scriptures are a vital vessel to guide beings across the sea of suffering, not a relic to be revered from afar.

For over two decades, thanks to generous supporters like you, CBETA has continually elevated the quality and global reach of the electronic Tripiṭaka. As the world's most comprehensive Chinese Buddhist text archive, we continue to innovate—delivering modern digital tools for readers worldwide.

CBETA strives to stand as an enduring bedrock for the propagation of the Dharma. To sustain this vital mission for future generations, we need your ongoing support.

Walk this path with us, and join us in this shared aspiration:

"May all beings never be deprived of the Dharma!"
