user14161: s 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?

user13992: There are several large scholarly collections you can access freely:
Organizations:
International Association of Buddhist Studies
Sanskrit:
Digital Sanskrit Buddhist Canon
Chinese:
WWW Database of Chinese Buddhist texts
Digital Database of Buddhist Tripitaka Catalogues
Japanese:
The SAT Daizōkyō Text Database
English:
English Translation of the Buddhist Canon and Publication Project
hope this helps
