Hello,

I'm working on a book translation that isn't particularly technical, but there's still a fair amount of Soto Zen terminology. Understanding the meaning is fine, and of course I can come up with my own translation, but I always wonder if there is "standard" English for most or all of those terms. For example of course　只管打坐we most often render "just sitting," but something like 威儀即仏法, I'm not so sure. So what I'm wondering, does anyone know of a good online source for such information? For certain things a Google search works, but for others nothing really comes up. I've tried using the dictionary at www.buddhism-dict.net/ddb/, but that typically comes back with nothing.

Anyway, thanks a million for your time and any ideas you might have.
