Is there an online database that either contains the Buddhist canon in either English or Chinese?
I've had a difficult time tracking down first hand sources other than the usual suspects (Heart Sutra, Prajnaparamita sutra, etc). I've been looking for anything related to pratityasamutpada in the abhidharma, but I don't even know where to look, or even if English translations exist.
Does anyone know where to look?
This is a partial answer since I know little about Buddhism, however, I have found the following sites useful for other purposes.
The Internet Archive may contain works of interest. By copying the word "pratityasamutpada" and pasting it in their Search box I was able to find this text: Pratityasamutpada In The Abhidharmasamuccaya, Kritzer, 1995 You may be able to find other texts of interest there.
The Internet Sacred Text Archive contains works related to Buddhism: Searching there may provide something of interest.
