以下是關於日本半個月前發售的「大正藏第二十五卷」 CD 的介紹。

由於前一陣子系上機器常常當掉，加上末學也忙，所以接下來的幾封信
已是半個月前的舊聞了 :Q

IMPORTANT: This MiniCD-ROM requires a Japanese environment AND all
           texts and menu are in Japanese. You will need a special
           software to read those mini-disks (Some Public domain
           software are available). 

I just got the Jodo Seiten MiniCD-ROM that I have told in a mail
few days ago. My impression is really very good. It has included
all the sacred texts in Shin Buddhism and also a lot of additional
interesting material:
        
        1) A Dictionary of 6,000 Shin Buddhist terms
        2) Time tables of all Monshus
        3) A Short introduction to Shinran's history
        4) An Introduction to basics of Shin Buddhism
        5) Maps of important buddhist sites in India, China and Japan
        6) Explanation of Buddhist rituals
        7) SOUND of 5 shin budhist texts CHANTED in ritual form.
                (Shoshinge, Hakkotsu no sho, Shinjin Gyakutokusho,
                 Shonin ichiryusho)

I just thought it was a kind of hard to browse the texts, since the window
is not very big and it has a lot of link to explanations after every
paragraph, but it is can be useful for people who dont understand Shin
Terms.

In general, the MiniCD contains 108.5 MBytes of wonderful material and 
it is very easy to find keywords and do cut & paste. The price is also
very reasonable (9,000 yens). It is really a good resource. I just hope
they do something like this in English as well very soon!..
