CBETA Archive
The CBETA Electronic Buddhist Text Archive represents years of dedicated effort to digitize Buddhist literature. It features major Chinese Buddhist canons—including the Taishō Tripiṭaka, Manji Zokuzōkyō (Xuzangjing), and Jiaxing Canon—along with contemporary texts and scriptural catalogs.
Designed for academic researchers, practitioners, and Buddhist culture enthusiasts, this archive provides a comprehensive, rigorous, and user-friendly digital resource. We warmly invite everyone to explore and utilize the collection.
※ CBETA Online is developed and maintained by our partner,
Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (DILA).

水滴雖微,漸盈大器,凡福充滿,從纖纖積。
Though water droplets are small, they gradually fill a large vessel;
similarly, blessings are fulfilled by accumulating even the smallest acts.
