佛學大辭典1.1.0

Use 佛學大辭典 to look up Buddhist terms, read their Chinese definitions, and consult the reference without keeping a network connection active. The program can present an entry at random or let you select the material you want to examine. Bookmarks preserve entries for later review, while shareable URLs point another reader to a specific dictionary location.

Its corpus contains more than 30,000 entries and over 3.6 million Chinese characters. The work is based on the dictionary Ding Fubao compiled over eight years, itself adapted from the Japanese Buddhist dictionary associated with Oda Tokuno. This abridged edition removes material concerning Japanese Buddhism and its bibliographic references, and the resulting dictionary was formally published in 1922. Theme switching and font-size adjustment make extended reading more adaptable, and the application presents the content without advertisements.

Students, Buddhist studies readers, and anyone studying classical Chinese Buddhist terminology can use it for quick definitions, focused reading, or repeated reference work. The offline mode becomes available after the first startup, which requires internet access. 佛學大辭典 is a Linux Education program from Meng-Yuan Huang, requiring Linux with snapd and targeting x86_64 (amd64) systems. It is released as open-source software through an official build.
