- Chinese-language Buddhist readers and students
- Worth noticing
- The catalog divides the collection into 23 sections, including sutras, vinaya, commentaries, Zen texts, Dunhuang manuscripts, and Southern Tradition holdings.
Field notes
The archive presents canonical material through both named-text shortcuts and a large classification directory, with references such as T01–T85, D01–64, and N01–70 visible in the catalog. Its conversational feature asks visitors to write a question, then claims to answer from the stored scriptures and point toward relevant passages. The homepage also cautions that the generated response is for study rather than authoritative religious or scholarly use.
