佛教網路運用
佛教網路站的分類：
由於網路科技的提昇，架站容易，操作簡單，使用者日多等原因，投入網路的人越來越多,
使得佛教網路站也越來越多，以致於網路站的分類已成為一重要的主題了！
然而，並沒有很多人注意到這問題，是以今天有必要提出討論。
雖然，網路的檢索功能很強，幾乎打上任何的詞字，就可以找到想要的主題。
網路站資料庫的整理，除了提供良好的檢索功能外，也應能有很好的排列整理系統，使用者
可簡易的依此找到自己想要的資訊；
（如 Yahoo 除了 關鍵字檢索外也提供 分類檢索）
就如現今的圖書館，除了提供電腦檢索外，也應有良好的分類上架系統一樣！
筆者先就網路分為中文與外文兩類:
中文主要是以使用華文為重點
包含臺灣、大陸、香港、馬來西亞、新加坡、美國等地 使用華語為主的網址。
外文則為除了華語之外的其他語文
如 英文、德文、法文、日文 等
因為華語的站不多，較無法分類，故先從外文區開始介紹：
目前提供佛教網路連線的服務站很多，然其分類法不外是：
1. 依字母排序
2. 依地區排序
3. 依性質排序
分類排序者大約有：
1. Yahoo ...
2. JBE ...
3. HSUNG PENG
4. Australia U.
5. ...
在這些分類法中 以澳洲大學的佛學網路的分類最為清楚
今舉例說明之：
在二百多個佛教站中，可大分為五大類：
1. 總類
2. 語文
3. 宗派
4. 分期
5. 功能
而這五大類又可細分為(因為二百多站並不算多，故不能像圖書分類般的分類，因此
不是很完整、也不盡理想）：
1. 總類
佛學--總類
2. 語文
中文
韓文
3. 宗派
日蓮宗
淨土宗
真言宗
天台宗
瑜伽
禪宗
4. 分期
初期佛教
上座部--南傳佛教
金剛乘--藏傳佛教
西方佛教
5. 功能
佛教經典輸入與翻譯計畫
其他佛教電子資源
佛學資料庫
佛教電子雜誌等
佛教團體
* 佛學研究機構
其他宗教網路資源
經由上項的細分選項之後即可進入個別的站址，選擇自己想看的站進入而遨遊其中。
由於佛教站相當多，不可能全部介紹，本文僅擇要就這些站中較值得探詢的站址做一些
簡介， 當然，難免有些主觀的成見，讀者不仿？於閒餘時間進入其他各站仔細探訪，
一定會有所發現！
1. 總類
佛學--總類
就像一般圖書分類的總類一樣， 澳洲大學也把總類置於第一位置上，
而總類的站有：
2. 語文
中文
韓文

Subject: 5. Resources of possible interest to Buddhists
This list is offered mainly as a service to those who do not have (or
have not yet learned how to use) the powerful search capabilities
available through some resources on the Internet. If you have a Web
browser, you are better off generating a list yourself, using a
service such as Lycos . Such a list will be
more up to date, and you will not be constrained by the FAQ
maintainer's tastes.
The FAQ maintainer attempts to visit listed Net sites once in a while
to be sure that links are still valid, but it is not possible to
monitor all listed sites on a regular basis. If you become aware of
changes, please send email to the FAQ maintainer so that the FAQ can
be updated.
Much of the information in this collection is a condensed version of
Hsuan Peng's excellent (and much more comprehensive) list. See 5.01.
------------------------------
Subject: 5.01 Some Internet sites
The Number One nifty site has to be the Coombs Virtual Library, at the
Australian National University. It has links to all sorts of stuff,
plus a wealth of information of its own related to a vast range of
traditions and topics.
Access To Insight/DharmaNet Home Page
Australian BuddhaNet Home Page
Buddhism Study Group at Urbana-Champaign
Buddhist Internet Pointers (Hsuan Peng's resource list)
A bunch of stuff in Chinese, including some sutra texts. Some sources
have nice GIFs. Most of this needs special software (the cognoscenti
tell me it's in BIG-5); for info on Chinese language, see 5.04.
Cornell AsiaLink
The /teaching/AAR_courses/ subdirectory contains materials related to
courses taught at Cornell on Zen and the Lotus Sutra.
Dharma Electronic Files Archive (DEFA)
Journal of Buddhist Ethics resource list
Mind Only Cafe - under construction
This seems to be intended as a site for information about Yogacara.
Currently it has some information about Asanga. Material on Vasubandhu
is promised soon.
Sitting meditation sites
Tiger Team Buddhist Information Network
Zen centers (a good worldwide list)
------------------------------
Subject: 5.02 Online scriptures and related material
Dhammapada
Heart Sutra
Mahamangala sutta
(Should be all on one line. Sorry for splitting it, but wrapping
seemed even worse.)
Parinirvana Sutra
A variety of miscellaneous items (e.g., several sutta translations in
the BPS Wheel series) are available from DEFA. See section 5.01.
Claude Huss has made a number of Jodo Shinshu texts available at his
White Path Temple site .
Material in English, Japanese and Chinese (last two require special
display software). Includes an English translation of the Tannisho.
For the serious specialist, the entire Tipitaka and Atthakatha (plus
a few miscellaneous items such as the Milindapanha) are available on
CD-ROM in Thai and Romanized Pali, via Mahidol University in Thailand
and its American representatives. This material is *not in English*.
Package includes software for display and cross-referencing.
More info: .
Some Tibetan materials are available on CD-ROM from the Asian Classics
Input Project at Princeton. More info: .
EiHeiJi Temple plans to issue a commemorative Dogen CD-ROM (in
Japanese, special display software needed). More info:

Tibet

early Tibetan mandalas (scanned images)
Big JPEG files, slow loading. Be patient.
Tibetan dictionary for DOS
Be patient; this FTP site (in St. Petersburg!) allows only 5 anonymous
users at a time. Issue the following FTP commands to download the two
dictionary-related files:
binary
get t.arj
ascii
get t.readme
Read t.readme before doing anything else. To un-archive t.arj, get a
copy of ARJ242B.EXE from or
another site. This is a self-extracting version of the ARJ archive
utility; just type ARJ242B and it will set itself up (it is preferable
to do this in a separate subdirectory). The dictionary *must* be
installed in a directory named \T (note that this directory is 'off
the root' -- you will need to create \T if a directory of that name
does not yet exist, and you may need to move files if you already have
a directory named \T). Type
arj e c:\t\t.arj \t *.*
to extract the complete set of dictionary files (this assumes that you
are installing the dictionary in c:). Note: this dictionary is
shareware, *not* freeware; if you plan to use it, Jim Valby asks for a
contribution of $15. His address is in the t.readme file.

Subject: 5.08 A random selection of books
Buddhist Dictionary: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines, by
Nyanatiloka (3rd revised and enlarged edition). Colombo: Frewin
(1972). An edition is also published by AMS Press (1983).
Entering the Stream: An Introduction to the Buddha and his Teachings,
ed. by Samuel Bercholz and Sherab Chodzin Kohn. London : Rider
(1994). This is the companion volume to the film "Little Buddha." A
superb anthology of short writings from a number of different
viewpoints. Very accessible to those who have only a casual interest
in Buddhism, while also containing much of value for serious students
of the teaching.
The Middle Length Discourses of The Buddha (Majjhima Nikaya), trans.
by Bkikkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi. Boston: Wisdom Publications
(1995). ISBN-0-86171-072-X. Those living in Asia can get the Asian
Edition from the Buddhist Publication Society in Sri Lanka.
Mindfulness in Plain English, by Henepola Gunaratana. Boston: Wisdom
(1993).
The Path of Purification (Visuddhimagga), by Bhadantacariya
Buddhaghosa, trans. by Nyanamoli (3rd edition). Kandy, Sri Lanka:
Buddhist Publication Society (1975). An edition is also published by
Shambhala. This is still probably the best meditation text ever
written for someone who wants a comprehensive overview of orthodox
Buddhist meditation techniques. (Warning: this book is not a casual
read.) The FAQ maintainer suggests starting with Vol. 2, unless you
want to be an expert on kasina disks.
A Survey of Buddhism: Its Doctrines and Methods through the Ages, by
Sangharakshita (6th edition). London: Tharpa (1987). A rich and
wide-ranging study written by someone who is familiar with all of the
major schools (as well as the Western intellectual tradition).
Thus I Have Heard: The Long Discourses of The Buddha (Digha Nikaya),
trans. by Maurice Walshe. Boston: Wisdom Publications (1987).
ISBN-0-86171-030-4.
What the Buddha Taught, by Walpola Rahula. A beautifully clear
introduction to Buddhist doctrine, written by a Sri Lankan scholar.
Very intelligible, even to non-Buddhists.
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, by Shunryu Suzuki. New York: Weatherhill
(1970), reprinted in 1980. Anthologized in _Entering the Stream_.
