Access to Insight: Transition Notice
Access to Insight has served as a widely used collection of early Buddhist texts for nearly three decades.
After announcing concerns about the site’s aging technology, we received an outpouring of support from practitioners around the world. With the support of two generous donors, BCBS is now working with a firm to stabilize Access to Insight as a legacy, preservation-only resource.
Access to Insight will remain online during this transition, though occasional outages may still occur. We will share updates as this work continues.
Continuing Your Study
When outages occur, we encourage practitioners to continue their study through these comprehensive, actively maintained resources:
Dhammatalks.org
Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu’s updated collection of translations
https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/
SuttaCentral
Early Buddhist texts in Pāli and many modern languages
https://suttacentral.net/?lang=en
Both sites provide reliable editions and robust search tools.
With Gratitude
Access to Insight has served generations of practitioners around the world. We are deeply grateful to John Bullitt for his years of devoted care, to Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu for his work in making the Buddha’s teachings freely available, and to the donors whose generosity is helping preserve this resource.
