About the Author

The BDK English Tripitaka Series was started by the late Dr. Rev.

Scholars and specialists from throughout the world have been enlisted to translate the selected texts into English. When completed, the one-hundred eight volumes will comprise the First Series of the BDK English Tripitaka.
