Juéqún zhōubào 覺群週報 (Awakening the Multitude Weekly News) was a Chinese Buddhist periodical.

It averaged 14 pages per issue. It was started by Tàixū right after the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Society and the magazine were initially both devoted to getting the saṅgha to participate in the government. The tone reflects Tàixū’s idea that monks should engage with and take a constructively critical stance toward the government. As a result of that orientation, this periodical contained news on politics as well as the Buddhist world.
