A prominent lay Buddhist society linked with the Wuchang Buddhist Seminary 武昌佛學院.
Founded in 1920 by Wáng Sēnfǔ 王森甫[1] as the Hànkǒu Buddhist Association 漢口佛教會. It was renamed the Buddhist Right Faith Society 佛教正信會 in 1928. This was primarily a lay society, and Wáng and his successors were followers of Tàixū 太虛. The Society had a reciprocal relationship with the Wuchang Buddhist Seminary 武昌佛學院, which sent the Society teachers and monks, and which was financially underwritten by the Society. This Society engaged in a variety of charitable activities, including running a school. It also published Right Faith Weekly 正信周刊.
In April 1922, the Society launched a Buddhist Studies Institute 佛教講習所, which was headed by Táng Dàyuán 唐大圓.
