Konrad Meisig & Marion Meisig: A Buddhist Chinese Glossary -- Buddhistisch-Chinesisches Glossar (East Asia Intercultural Studies -- Interkulturelle Ostasienstudien, 6). CD-ROM. 2012.
The Buddhist Chinese Glossary (BCG) provides 1) a diachronic perspective of Buddhist Chinese texts, giving exact place references including text quotations in an historical array; it thus permits 2) verifiability; and it makes the lexicographic material available by 3) digital technique. In its present state, the BCG is not yet a dictionary, but a glossary, containing about 4,000 lemmata, prepared from a representative selection of texts focusing on early Hīnayāna sūtras and legends. The BCG is preparatory to a future, more comprehensive dictionary.
