Buddhist text resources
Here’s a list of links submitted by commenter Buddhafolk, with a lot of resources for those interested to study Buddhist scriptures in more detail. I’ve added a couple of extras. If you have any other suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.
Access to Insight has a vast range of Suttas and other texts well translated in English. A no-nonsense portal into the world of Buddhist scripture.
840000.co is an ambitious new project to translate all the Buddha’s words into English. Finally the effort is being made! Check it out, and see if you want to sponsor a page. No texts are available yet, but they promise they will appear this year.
Suttacentral is a comprehensive database of the texts in the four Pali Nikayas, together with their corresponding texts in Chinese, Sanskrit, Tibetan, and other languages. It includes detailed references for the text correspondences, as well as links to the original texts and, where available, modern translations.
The Buddhist Literary Heritage Project
The Digital Dictionary of Buddhism has many links a valuable resource for translators and students of Buddhism
Wikipedia has a list of the contents but has no links per line, there are resources tho’

This project looks promising to me: http://84000.co/
Indeed it does, thanks so much for this.
3 suggestions:
Thesaurus Literaturae Buddhicae: http://www2.hf.uio.no/polyglotta/index.php?page=library&bid=2
Yuttadhammo’s Digital Pali Reader: http://sourceforge.net/projects/digitalpali/files/
PTS Pali-English Dictionary: http://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/pali/
Bhante, you could also add http://www.suttareadings.net/index.html which has many readings in audio and written format. As the site says: “Suttas selected and read aloud by teachers and senior Dhamma practitioners in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.”
Thanks, Greg.
I’ve added Access to Insight. Let me know if there’s any other sugggestions.
