Welcome to Dharma Pearls Wiki!
This documentation project is intended to serve as a resource for general readers, practitioners, and researchers to better understand the context and background of Chinese Buddhist literature. As a companion reader to the Dharma Pearls translation project, this wiki will initially focus on topics appropriate to reading the Chinese Agama and Avadana literature.
Planned categories include:
- Chinese-English glossary
- Historical characters and settings
- Philosophical and religious concepts
- Recurring passages and terms
- Lore and mythology
- Parables and metaphors
Articles that fit into these topics will draw primarily on Chinese sources, but sources in Pali, Sanskrit, and Tibetan Buddhist literature will also be referenced to illustrate influences that occurred throughout Buddhist history.
