These theses will be published soon.

By the way, I've made a Pdf of the Chinese version of Triб№ѓЕ›ikДЃvijГ±aptikДЃrikДЃбёҐ, ДЂlambanaparД«kб№ЈДЃvб№›ttiбёҐ and NyДЃyamukha, all translated by Xuan Zang (Hsuan Tsang). It has been attached here.

I'm a student from China learning the HetuvidyДЃ of DignДЃga and DharmakД«rti. As you know, it's hard to buy professional books in foreign languages, esp the critical editions of Sanskrit texts and books on Indology.So we have little knowledge about what our prominent forergn colleagues have done in this same field, i.e. Buddhist Logic and Philosophy studies.
But it is lucky that in the web we could find a lot of resources including Sanskrit E-texts.But again, it is far and far less than enough to update our knowledge about the international Buddhist studies.

So, I'd like to ask anyone who has read this topic to help me find the online resources about Buddhist Logic, including books and articles, esp. Sanskrit texts on NyДЃya in pdf version, which will be used for academic reference only.

The Online Resources on der Oesterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften website, on the website DarЕ›ana, on the website Mahajana Buddhizmus, and on this website, is what I have already got.

In turn, I can provide the books and articles (in pdf version) by Chinese scholars on Buddhist logic, including the ancient commentaries on NyДЃyamukha and NyДЃyapraveЕ›a in Chinese by the Dharma-masters in Tang Dynasty and their Japanese successors, which should only be used for academic reference too.

By the way, is there anybody have the pdf version of Candrakirti's Madhyamakavatara, Sanskrit text or translation?

Hello scardanelli,

We are going to launch soon the Nalanda Tracker for torrents in Buddhism

http://nalanda.globalbuddhism.com

If there is standing and SEEDING interest, I will set up a section on Logic and provite torrents of whatever public material I got in my private library. There are friends who are ready to support this initiative. Madhyamakavatara will be the first in our list of Buddhist torrents.

Please visit and register at the Nalanda Tracker
http://nalanda.globalbuddhism.com

Check out also http://www.globalbuddhism.com/forum/board,21.0/ for instructions how to install and operate a Torrent Client.

Best,

Hi, Dear Plamen,

I've downloaded the Madhyamakavatara just now. Perhaps my reply is somehow too late. It's my first time to use BitComet.

Thank you very much!

Here is A Sanskrit-Chinese Comparison of NyДЃyapraveЕ›a in two parts, by Prof. Guo Liang-yun, in South Asia Studies 1999(2) & 2000(1).

If you would like to set up a section on Logic and provite torrents of whatever public material you've got, to do which is so kind of you, I'm glad to provide the PDF material got from the publications on Buddhist philosophy and logic in Chinese & Tibetan.

BEST!

Dear scardanelli,

Thank you very much for this valuable contribution of Nyayapravesa.
There is already a section on Logic at the Nalanda Tracker, probably not so visible amidst the other sections. Here it is

http://nalanda.globalbuddhism.com/browse.php?cat=39

I am going to add there the full scan of Nyaya-bindu - both Sanskrit text and the English translation of Stcherbatsky.

Please, let me know if you have some difficulties in uploading or seeding the torrents.
