[Buddha-l] Lexical resources

[James Ward]

Hi all,

I can't remember if these have been mentioned here or not.  Seishi 
Karashima's _A Glossary of Dharmaraks.a's Translation of the Lotus 
Sutra_ and _A Glossary of Kumaarajiiva's Translation of the Lotus 
Sutra_ are available for download at the following page (The 
International Research Institute for Advanced Buddhology at Soka 
University):

http://iriab.soka.ac.jp/orc/english.html

The first is around 27 MB, the second around 10 MB.  After a brief 
once-over, it looks like they might be easier to use as bound volumes.  
I think I'll try that -- this is my first encounter with "international 
reply coupons," which seem to be about to celebrate their centenary...  
Each volume appears to be available for twenty of these coupons apiece 
to cover postage and handling.

(The Dharmaraks.a volume is BPPB Vol. I, to be found at the bottom of 
the web-page.)
