Resources for learning Buddhist Chinese

I found these textbooks very useful for people interested in reading the Agamas in Chinese, so I thought I’d share them here.
Anumodana to John Kieschnick for making them available!

I just found that website. I was going to post a link to it in its own thread, but maybe I’ll just bump this thread by leaving a comment. I stumbled across that website after discovering this book: Amazon.com: Chinese Buddhist Texts: An Introductory Reader (9781138953338): Lock, Graham, Linebarger, Gary S.: Books. It’s $44 USD, and is only 188 pages…

This is another website that might interest some: http://chinesetexts.stanford.edu/. It isn’t specifically Buddhist, but is a free course geared towards more standard classical Chinese.
