Juéqún zhōubào 覺群週報 (Awakening the Multitude Weekly News)

A Chinese Buddhist periodical.

  • Run: July 15, 1946 – December 1947 (57 total issues)
  • Location(s): Yùfó Temple 玉佛寺, Shànghǎi 上海
  • Person(s): Tàixū 太虛, chief; Fúshàn 福善, head editor; Zhǐfāng 止方, head of publishing.
  • Associated Organizations: Juéqún Society 覺群社, Shànghǎi Buddhist Seminary 上海佛學院

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 sangha 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.

MFQ has nearly the whole set.
