A HTML dictionary of Chinese Buddist Terms is available online here:

I confirm the HTML book to be in the public domain (check the preface).

I'm interested in converting it to EPUB and will go ahead with that, but my grasp of ebook creation is very basic indeed.

So, if anyone is interested, do please go ahead with your own project of converting the dictionary.
I'm attaching a quick and dirty conversion from html to epub. Note that this assumes that you have a font capable of displaying the required glyphs -- I used code2000 on my Kobo ereader -- this will likely require embedding a font in the final version. I split into "chapters" by the number of strokes headings.
