The Buddhist Digital Resource Center (BDRC), a secular and registered nonprofit founded by scholars, is the leading digital conservator of Buddhist manuscripts. It digitizes Buddhist writings in Asian languages and makes them freely available worldwide on the Web. The organization’s mission statement is “Connecting Buddhist literature with the world.” BDRC works extensively with the Tibetan community in China and the diaspora, and has established projects in Mongolia, Thailand, and Cambodia. Joining digital technology with scholarship, BDRC ensures that the cultural treasures of the Buddhist literary tradition are secure and accessible for generations to come.
