Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the release of a new dictionary for Buddhist Studies,
with the title "A Korean-English Dictionary of Buddhist Terms"
(Seoul, Unjusa, 2014).
Including almost 12,000 entries in 1560 pages, this is a dictionary aimed
primarily for a user who knows the Korean rendering of a Buddhist term, and
wants to know the English equivalents. I.e., the entries are arranged in
Hangeul order, followed by the Chinese term, English equivalent, and
explanation.
As you might guess, this work is derived from the DDB, with most entries being
shortened and simplified. It also contains a substantial number of entries on
Korean place names, temples, schools, texts, and so forth that are related to
Korean Buddhism.
To make it useful to scholars who don't know Korean, we have also generated
indexes for Pinyin, Japanese (roman and kana), Korean (McCune-Reischauer and
Revised Romanization), as well as Radical-Stroke and Total Strokes. These are
all available from:

A link for Internet orders is also included on this page. The price is 90,000
Korean Won, or US $ 90.00
Best regards,
Chuck
