Английская Википедия:Buddhist texts library
A Buddhist texts library (Шаблон:Zh) is a large building in Chinese Buddhist temples which is built specially for storing The Chinese Buddhist Canon (Шаблон:Zh). It is encountered throughout East Asia, including in some Japanese Buddhist Kyōzōs (Шаблон:Lang). The Chinese Buddhist Canon is the total body of Buddhist literature deemed canonical and was called "all the sutras" (Шаблон:Zh) in the ancient time. With four thousand kinds, it includes Āgama (Шаблон:Zh), Vinaya (Шаблон:Zh) and Abhidharma (Шаблон:Zh) texts. Āgama are theories made by Buddha for disciples to practice, Vinaya are the rules formulated by Buddha for believers and Abhidharma is the collection of theories explanations by Buddha's disciples.[1][2]
A Buddhist texts library is generally two-storey buildings built at the highest point of the temple. The upper storey is for storing sutras and the lower layer is the "Thousand Buddha Pavilion" (Шаблон:Zh).[3]
