Namo Sakyamuni Buddha
Buddhism has been propagating in Vit Nam for over 2000 years. Mahayana sutras and other sacred texts
have often been taken from the Chinese Tripitaka and, until now, we do not have a complete Tripitaka in
Vietnamese. Only a few Vietnamese can read and write Chinese characters. Yet there are still too many
sutras that have not been translated. The Tu Quang Wisdom Light Foundation Inc. has been concerned
about this issue for the last several years. We recently have access to the original texts in the Chinese
Tripitaka from the Chinese Buddhist Electronic Text Association (CBETA) and we are committed to translate
them into Vietnamese and other languages such as English and French.
The CBETA Tripitaka is based on the Taisho Tripitaka and composed of 2372 sutras, vinayas (precepts)
and sastras (commentaries) that have been organized into 56 volumes (volumes 1-55 and 85). Due to this
large number of sacred texts, we have spent considerable efforts in developing computerized techniques for
translating them. Please visit our website http://www.DaiTangVietNam.com for details.
Our program for the development of a Vietnamese Tripitaka is divided into five stages:
1. Develop computerized techniques to transcribe and translate the Chinese Tripitaka into Vietnamese,
2. Transcribe the Chinese Tripitaka,
3. Translate into Vietnamese and other languages (English and French),
4. Edit and review by the Masters, and
5. Publish through conventional printing and electronic means.
At the present time, we have completed the translation (Stage 3 of Program) of all sacred texts in the
Chinese Tripitaka (over 70 million words in 9035 fascicles/files). The Masters and experts in Vit Nam as
well as overseas have begun the editing and review of these files (Stage 4 of Program).

With our unique computer translation software, the time requited for translating the Tripitaka is reduced from
decades or even centuries if done manually to a few short years. The Tu Quang Wisdom Light Foundation
Inc. hopes for the development of a complete Vietnamese Tripitaka in the near future. Following its
development, we hope to distribute it widely and for free through modern electronic means such as the
Internet and CD/DVD.
The establishment of a complete Tripitaka, in Vietnamese and other languages, will be a great contribution
to not only Buddhism but also to the cultures of Vit Nam and the world. This great endeavor can only
succeed with: first, the blessings from all Buddhas, Boddhisattvas and Heaven Dharma Protectors, and
second, the participitation and contributions of all Masters and Buddhists in the world. We hope to receive
guidance, assistance, cooperation and ideas from the Masters, respected authors and other Buddhists so
that the Tripitaka will soon be successfully completed so that all Buddhists can have access to original
sutras in their study and practice according to the Buddhas true teachings.
