DESCRIPTION

Dharmamitra is an integrated ecosystem developed at UC Berkeley for studying Buddhist texts across Pāli, Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Buddhist Chinese languages. The platform provides powerful, accessible tools addressing real-world needs of translators, researchers, and scholars: MITRATranslate offers machine translation from classical Buddhist languages (Pāli, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Buddhist Chinese) into modern languages, trained on Buddhist corpus-specific terminology and concepts; MITRASearch provides multilingual semantic search finding conceptually related passages across the entire Buddhist canon regardless of source language, enabling identification of parallel texts, doctrinal development, and intertextual relationships; MITRA-OCR utilizes Gemini-based AI for document-level OCR of Buddhist texts up to 100MB, handling classical scripts and layouts; DharmaNexus explores intertextuality within Buddhist literature based on the open-source BuddhaNexus initiative, mapping textual reuse and transmission patterns.
