A groundbreaking, but short-lived Buddhist seminary 佛學院 founded by Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會.
This school was founded by Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會 at the site of his Jīnlíng Scriptural Press 金陵刻經處 in Nánjīng 南京. This school was exceptional in that both the student body and teaching staff included monks and lay people together. This was probably the first time in Chinese history that laymen taught Buddhist subjects to monks.[1] Courses included not only classes on Buddhism, but also English and the basics of Pāli and Sanskrit. Although this institution was short-lived, many its students went on to have significant impacts on Chinese Buddhism in the 20th century.
