Xiàndài sēngqié 現代僧伽 (Modern Sangha) was a Chinese Buddhist periodical that promoted the formation of a modern sangha, modern Buddhism and a modern society.
Published quarterly and averaged about 100 pages per issue. When Dàxǐng went to Cháozhōu in April, 1932 the name was changed to Xiàndài fójiào zhōukān 現代佛教周刊 (Modern Buddhism Weekly). After it became a monthly it began to focus on research into the principles of Buddhism and thus became much more academic. It took on hot topics of the day, such as the editor’s call for instituting monastic exams.
