Prof. Kai Sheng of Tsing-hua University, a collaborator of the Center for Buddhist Studies at UA, has newly been awarded a major grant by the Chinese National Social Sciences Fund, for his ambitious project titled “Social Life History of Chinese Buddhist Monks.” This five-year interdisciplinary project will investigate how Buddhism, following the principle of “confirming both Buddhist doctrine and realistic situation,” spread in the land of Chinese culture, and how Chinese Buddhism developed its own characteristics in this process of interaction. The Director of the Center for Buddhist Studies at UA, Prof. Jiang Wu, will participate the research project.
