The '''Jiāoshān Buddhist Seminary (Jiāoshan Fóxué yuàn 焦山佛學院)''' was a Buddhist Seminary [[佛學院]] founded by Abbot Zhìguāng [[智光]].

==History==

* [[1934]] - [[1937]]; [[1940]] - [[1948]]
* Location(s): Dìnghuì Temple [[定慧寺]], Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]]

The first class of 40 monks began in 1934, at which point the Seminary was headed by Xuěfán [[雪煩]]. Students studied Buddhism, as well as geography, history, art, and sciences. In addition to attending two lectures per day, students also chanted the Huáyán Sūtra 華嚴經 and participated in meditation and ''niànfó'' 念佛 retreats. The first class graduated in [[1937]]. On December 8 of that year, the Japanese Army occupied Zhènjiāng, during which time they ransacked Dìnghuì Temple and its Seminary.

In [[1940]], the school was reopened. The first batch of 60 students was separated into two classes, the first of which graduated in [[1942]].

In [[1943]], Zhīfēng [[芝峰]] began teaching at the school.

In [[1946]], Míngshān [[茗山]], a former student at the Seminary, began working as the principal of the school. Míngxìng and Yuánzhàn also returned to teach. These teachers oversaw a student body of 46 monks. That year, the Seminary began publishing the periodical ''Midstream'' [[中流]].

A total of nearly 300 monks graduated from the Seminary Between 1934 and 1948, many of them have gone on to serve as abbot and/or found important temples in mainland China, Taiwan, and in other foreign countries.
