Please describe the principles for CBETA inclusion and integration of literature

In August 2024, CBETA established the “CBETA Advisory Committee” to hire experts and scholars in various fields to establish a review system for new modern classics to be collected in the future.
Suggestions and lists will be included in the record and considered at the Advisory Committee meeting. However, due to the large number of classics to be reviewed, and the limited manpower and resources of CBETA, in principle, they will be processed in the order in which they are submitted, and the exact time of inclusion cannot be provided.

Publication policy explanation of letters and various suggestions from legal friends

For a long time, suggestions for revisions provided by Dharma friends in letters or published in journal articles and other media have been an important resource for us to continuously improve the CBETA Buddhist scriptures. In the spirit of openness and transparency, we record your contributions in the relevant databases and web pages of CBETA.
We list the name of the revision provider and indicate the text, punctuation, or data format for the revision. In accordance with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act, if any legal friends do not want their contributions to be made public, please feel free to write to us and we will respect and comply with your wishes and not disclose your information.

What should I do if I replace my credit card for a regular donation?

1. Please inform CBETA to stop the deduction of the original credit card, otherwise the system will send a message to the donor once a month that the deduction is unsuccessful. CBETA Customer Service Hotline at (02) 2383-2182 ext. 12
2. Donors are requested to start a new regular and fixed donation operation in the system, and the system will deduct the money regularly every month according to the date filled in by the donor.

Are sponsored donations tax-deductible?

Receipts will be issued for all donations, and you can use them for your annual income declaration if you wish.
