An influential lay Buddhist study group based in Běijing 北京. It was founded in 1927 by Hán Qīngjìng 韓清淨, Zhū Fèihuáng 朱芾煌, Xú Sēnyù 徐森玉, and Ráo Fēnghuáng 饒風璜. It was dedicated to the practice and study of Indian Buddhism, as well as the translation and printing of Buddhist scriptures. Hán lectured at the study group once every week, primarily on Dharmalakṣaṇa.
This group had grown out of the Dharmalakṣaṇa Research Association 法相研究會, which these men had founded in 1921.
