The Collected Works of Korean Buddhism

Post by Huseng »

A new collection of academic translations of Korean Buddhist works has been published and made available for free download. Quite a lot of material and all high quality. Easy to access .pdf files, too.

See the following:

Treasure trove. Thanks Huseng! Love the new outfit.
"Men must want to do things out of their own innermost drives. People, not commercial organizations or chains of command, are what make great civilizations work. Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces. If you over-organize humans, over-legalize them, suppress their urge to greatness - they cannot work and their civilization collapses."
- A letter to CHOAM, attributed to the Preacher

Thanks Huseng.

And thanks to the translators, editors, sponsors, and publisher for making this thirteen-volume English-language edition of The Collected Works of Korean Buddhism possible.

Have yet to find a source to buy any of the actual books - any suggestions?

Here is another site to download an individual volume:

EDIT: This, from UCLA Buddhism Center, answers my question above:
Since the project was funded by a grant that only covered the publication of a limited number of paper copies of the texts, the texts are also being released in PDF format. A hard copy of the full set may be found in the UCLA Young Research Library.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.
