Filling a gap

After the inauguration in March 2008, the general public with be able to use the e-Tipiṭaka WebService, thanks to the voluntary contribution of e-Tipiṭaka inscribers from Dhamma Society's World Tipiṭaka Project.

What's the Difference ?

Based on the International Council Manuscript, this sacred Pāḷi Text Corpus was proof-read and checked against all the major Tipiṭaka editions of the world. The information on variant readings which was published in 2007 in the Tipiṭaka Studies Reference will be soon available through this tipitakastudies.net as well.
