Hello,
I am looking for large amounts of Buddhist texts in digital form in
Sanskrit or Tibetan.
I have already found these
- The Asian Classics Input project
- The two Pali Tipitakas on CD
- Some essential texts like the Dhammapada and Heart Sutra and the
Bodhisattvacaryavatara
- Some short quotations here and there

Is there a Mahayana project similar to the Pali Tipitaka CDs?  I'd be
mostly interested in the essential sutras, and on the other hand to
have as much texts as possible.

The ACIP project is actually more than one could hope for, but I am
asking this in case I missed something in Sanskrit or something even
more comprehensive.

Thank you

You may want to contact Dr. Alfred Bloom directly.  He is one of our
leading spokespeople for Jodo Shinsu Buddhism and a top notch expert
on Mahayana in general. Since we are the world's largest Buddhist
denomination, he may have the information you are looking for.
