Welcome!
Before I begin I need to state the obvious truth that none of the content uploaded here in the
above link is my own. It was for free distribution and it is free for all!
There are no audio, or video files in these folders. The vast majority of files are in pdf.
However there are other types of files too. There are some non-text files also (like exe files).
There are text files in European languages (English, German, Italian, Spanish and
Portuguese) and Asian languages (Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Hindi, Laotian, Nepali,
Sinhala, Thai and Tibetan). Almost all folders have some content in English.
Over here you will find various text documents on Buddhism. Most of the files uploaded here
are in pdf format. The folders are named according to the website from which I downloaded
the material from.
Beware that some books can appear on more than one folder. This is because they were
available for download in more than one website. I have made some effort to remove
unnecessary repetitions. But some of which I have intentionally left in case if there is a
damaged file there always the possibility of coming across the same content in a different
file.
I took some time to remove any files that were damaged (i.e. which did not open). I couldnt
check this for all the files (there are more than 14 000 files over here!). If you happen to
come across any then I offer my apology and I encourage you to enjoy the rest of the
content online.
I have included a special folder named Buddhist Websites which has a list of as many
Buddhist websites that I found all over the internet. I have also uploaded them as
Favourites files so you can copy-paste it on to your Favourites folder.
Some subfolders may be empty. I will remove them with time.
Unfortunately some of the websites which give free downloads of Buddhist content are no
longer available online. But their downloadable content is available for you to see in here (so
it hasnt gone to waste).
All content from the respective websites were legally available for free download and free
distribution.
I have made available text material from different types of Buddhism but mainly Mahayana
and Theravada. If you are looking for a particular sect of Buddhism or documents in
particular language, then please take a look through the list of websites and their description
