'''Zōngyǎng 宗仰 (1861-1921)''' was a Jiāngnán [[江南]] monk, most famously associated with revolutionary activities in Shànghǎi [[上海]] in the first decade of the 20th century.

== Biography ==
Zōngyǎng was tonsured at age 16 ([[1876]]) under Yàokān 藥龕 at Sānfēng Temple 三峰寺 in Chángshú County 常熟縣. After ordination he studied English, Japanese, and Sanskrit, in addition to poetry, epigraphy, and painting. (He was known throughout his life for his artistic abilities.) In [[1881]] he received full ordination at Jiāngtiān Temple [[江天寺]] at Jīnshān [[金山]] in Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]]. At Jiāngtiān Temple he studied under abbot Dàdìng [[大定]], receiving dharma transmission from him.

In [[1892]] Zōngyǎng accepted the invitation of Liza Roos (Mrs. Silas Hardoon [[羅迦陵]]) to lecture at her Kalaviṇka Hermitage [[頻伽精舍]] on Jìng'ān Road 靜安路 in Shànghǎi [[上海]].

Around the time of the Hundred Days' Reform, Zōngyǎng got to know Zhāng Tàiyán [[章太炎]], Wú Jìnghéng 吳敬恆, and Cài Yuánpéi [[蔡元培]]. When the latter organized the Chinese Education Association [[中華教育會]] in [[1902]], Zōngyǎng joined Cài, Jiǎng Zhìtián 蔣智田, Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]], Huáng Yánpéi 黃炎培, Wáng Xiǎoxú [[王小徐]], and others to form the group in Shànghǎi. When Cài left the group, Zōngyǎng took over as president, reorganizing the group as the Patriotic Study Society 愛國學社. This society ran boys' and girls' schools, and published the ''Sūbào'' 蘇報, to which Zōngyǎng contributed a number of articles. In December of [[1903]], Cài, Wú, and others associated with the Society had to flee to Japan because of what they printed in that magazine, as well as because of their other revolutionary activities. With the financial support of Liza Roos, Zōngyǎng also went to Japan.

In Japan, Zōngyǎng shared a room with Sun Yat-sen and joined his Revolutionary Alliance (''tongmeng hui'' 同盟會). Zōngyǎng returned to China in [[1908]], at which point he again took up residence at Kalaviṇka Hermitage. That same year, Liza Roos, acting on Zōngyǎng's behest, paid for a printing of the Buddhist canon in 8,416 volumes. It is called the ''Kalaviṇka Canon'' [[頻伽大藏經]].

After the revolution of [[1911]] (Tàixū [[太虛]] was living with Zōngyǎng when it broke out), Zōngyǎng was invited by Sun Yat-sen to come to Nánjīng [[南京]] to participate in the government, but Zōngyǎng declined, choosing instead to go live in obscurity.

In [[1914]], Zōngyǎng became head monk 首座 at Jiāngtiān Temple. From [[1916]] to June of [[1919]], he practiced in sealed confinement. When his period of practice was over, he traveled to Qíxiá Mountain Temple [[棲霞山寺]] in Nánjīng. He initiated its reconstruction and lived out the rest of his years there.

Zhonghua fojiao zonghui 中華佛教總會

Greg — Mon, 25 May 2015 08:44:26 GMT

Greg: fixed typo

The '''Chinese Buddhist General Association (Zhōnghuá Fójiào zǒnghuì 中華佛教總會; CBGA)''' was a short-lived, early national Buddhist organization, likely the earliest of its kind in China.

== History ==

* [[1912]] - ca. [[1914]]; [[1917]] - [[1919]] (as the Chinese Buddhist Association 中華佛教會)
* Location(s): Shànghǎi [[上海]], Běijīng [[北京]]

The association was set up by Jìchán [[寄禪]] and others, including Dàojiē [[道階]], on April 1, [[1912]]. It received official recognition only after the death of Jìchán in November, [[1912]]. Yěkāi [[冶開]] was named president in [[1913]]. It published ''Fójiào yuèbào'' [[佛教月報]] (Buddhist Monthly) in Shànghǎi for four months in [[1913]], but ceased to function around [[1914]].

In [[1917]] Zhāngjiā [[章嘉]] and Qīnghǎi [[清海]] revived it in Běijīng as the Chinese Buddhist Association 中華佛教會, but it was disbanded by the authorities in [[1919]] for having been (re)established illegally.

== Cízhōu 慈舟 (1877-1958) ==

A student of Yuèxiá [[月霞]], Cízhōu lectured extensively on the ''Huáyán Sūtra'' 華嚴經 from the late 1920s into the 1940s.

'''Biography'''

Cízhōu first realized he wanted to ordain while pursuing a traditional education as a youth, but due to the opposition of his parents he was not able to follow his wish. He was finally able to get his mother's permission to ordain in [[1910]] (Xuāntǒng 宣統 2) after his father passed away. He took tonsure under Yuánzhào 元照 at Fóhuán Temple 佛洹寺 in his home county. Later that year he ordained under Dàhuì 大繪 at Guīyuán Temple [[歸元寺]] in Hànyáng [[漢陽]].

In [[1913]], Cízhōu traveled to Shànghǎi [[上海]] to enroll in the first class at Huáyán University [[華嚴大學]], run by Yuèxiá [[月霞]]. His fellow students included Chángxǐng [[常惺]] and Chísōng [[持松]]. Cízhōu moved to Hángzhōu [[杭州]] with the school in [[1914]] and graduated in [[1916]]. After graduation he became an itinerant for a year. In [[1917]], he accompanied Yuèxiá on a lecture tour in the Wǔhàn [[武漢]] area. Cízhōu remained in the area giving and attending sūtra lectures until [[1920]], when he and two of his former monastic classmates reestablished Huáyán University in Hànkǒu [[漢口]]. The University shut down with the graduation of the first class in the spring of [[1923]]. Cízhōu immediately accepted a position as the abbot of Qīyǐn Temple 棲隱寺 in Hànkǒu, but left it that summer to assist Huìzōng 惠宗 run the Dharmadhatu Seminary [[法界學院]] in Chángshú County 常熟縣, Jiāngsū [[江蘇]] (which had been established by Cízhōu's former teacher Yīngcí [[應慈]] in [[1919]]).

In the spring of [[1925]], Cízhōu took a break from the Seminary, and went lecturing until [[1926]]. From [[1927]] to [[1933]], Cízhōu traveled around the Jiāngnán [[江南]] and Wǔhàn areas giving sūtra lectures.

Between [[1933]] and [[1936]], Cízhōu set up two "franchises" of the Dharmadhatu Seminary in Fúzhōu [[福州]]. He started a branch at Yǒngquán Temple 湧泉寺 on Gǔshān 鼓山, which began classes in [[1933]]. The curriculum seemed to have consisted of Cízhōu lecturing on the ''Huáyán Sūtra'' 華嚴經. This school ran until the spring of [[1936]]. Later in [[1936]], Cízhōu was invited to start another lecture series under the same name that year at the nearby Fǎhǎi Temple 法海寺. Cízhōu left the course soon after it started when he received an invitation from Tánxū [[倓虛]] to come lecture on the precepts at the latter's Zhànshān Temple Buddhist Seminary [[湛山寺佛學院]] in Qīngdǎo [[青島]]. From that point on the course was led by Dàoyuán 道源, a former student of the Xīngfú Temple branch of the Dharmadhatu Seminary.

In the winter of [[1936]], Cízhōu became abbot of Jìnglián Temple 淨蓮寺 in Běijīng [[北京]]. In February of [[1937]], he launched another Dharmadhatu Seminary, which again consisted primarily of his lectures on the ''Huáyán Sūtra''. This seminary ended in the spring of [[1939]].

In [[1949]] Cízhōu was invited to Hong Kong [[香港]], but was unable to get there because of the Civil War. He returned to Běijīng and took up residence at the Ānyǎng Hermitage 安養精舍, where he died in 1958.

During his life, Cízhōu lectured on all of the major ''sūtras'' in Chinese Buddhism, and many of these lectures were recorded by students and disciples. In general, he practiced Pure Land, followed the ''vināya'', and taught Huáyán thought.

== Cízhōu 慈舟 (1915-2003) ==

Late abbot of Lóngchāng Temple [[隆昌寺]] on Mt. Bǎohuá [[寶華山]], and a living link in the Chinese ''vianaya'' tradition from before to after the Cultural Revolution.

'''Biography'''

Cízhōu was tonsured by Héngjìng 恒淨 in [[1927]], and was ordained a monk in [[1934]] at Lóngchāng Temple [[隆昌寺]] on Mt. Bǎohuá [[寶華山]]. The following year he tested into the Jiāoshān Buddhist Seminary [[焦山佛學院]] in Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]]. He graduated three years later, at which point he returned to Qīnglóng Hermitage 青龍庵 in his hometown.

In [[1942]] he entered Jiāngtiān Temple [[江天禪寺]] on Jīnshān [[金山]]. He stayed there, holding various offices, until 1954. In that year, he went to Běijīng [[北京]] and entered the Buddhist Academy of China [[中國佛學院]]. After graduating, he returned to Jīnshān.

During the Cultural Revolution, Cízhōu was forced to return to lay life, but in 1980, he once again returned to Jīnshān in order to reestablish the monastic center there. He became abbot in 1984. He worked tirelessly to rebuild the temple and he traveled extensively both within China and abroad in order to raise the funds to do so.

In 1994, Cízhōu established the Jīnshān Buddhist Seminary [[金山佛學院]] at Jiāngtiān Temple. Cízhōu became the principal, with Xīnchéng [[心澄]] acting as vice principal and head of curriculum, which included Indian Buddhist history, chanting, basics of Buddhism, ancient Chinese language studies, Chinese history, politics, and calligraphy. The seminary was run very strictly, and in addition to formal meals, students were required to practice meditation for at least two periods each day.

At that time, Cízhōu also served as the principal for the Mt. Bǎohuá Vinaya Seminary [[寶華山律學院]]. The vice principals were Línxiáng [[林祥]] and Xīnpíng [[心平]]. At that time there were eight teachers and fifteen students. 70% of their coursework consisted of Buddhists subjects such as''vinaya'' studies, while the other 30% of their coursework was comprised of cultural classes such as English, law, history, and calligraphy.

Cízhōu died at 3:03 a.m., on February 10, 2003 in the Lankāvatara Room 楞伽丈室 at Jiāngtiān Temple.

'''Yuèxiá 月霞 (1858-1917)''' was an important teacher and Chán master of the late Qing and early Republican periods. He was associated with several early Buddhist seminaries, including Huáyán University [[華嚴大學]].

== Biography ==

In his early teens, Yuèxiá decided to ordain, but his parents would not allow it, so at the age of 17 ''suì'' 歲, he married. Within two years his wife bore both a son and a daughter, and Yuèxiá again asked to be allowed to ordain, this time with success. In [[1876]] (Guāngxù 光緒 2) he took tonsure under one Chándìng 禪定 at Dàzhōng Temple 大鐘寺 in Nánjīng [[南京]]. The following year he took full ordination at Jiǔhuá shān [[九華山]]. He studied Chán 禪 at all the major monasteries of the day, including Jīnshān [[金山]], Tiānníng Temple [[天寧寺]], and at Gāomín Temple [[高旻寺]].

In [[1882]] (Guāngxù 光緒 8) he began living as a hermit on Zhōngnán shān [[終南山]]. He lived there for roughly six years. His hut and the lands to support him were provided by a local military commander. While on the mountain, he and the other hermits followed ''Báizhàng's Pure Rules'' 白丈清規.

In [[1888]] (Guāngxù 光緒 14) he began studying Chán under Liǎochén [[了塵]] at Tóngbó shān 桐柏山 in Zhōngzhōu 中州. There he had an enlightenment experience while listening to Liǎochén lecture on the ''Non-dual Dharma Gate'' 不二法門 chapter of the ''Vimalakīrti Sūtra'' 維摩詰經. Liǎochén recognized his enlightenment and gave him ''Yìnkě'' 印可. Yuèxiá stayed on for several years, then went to Chì shān 赤山 in Nánjīng to study with Fǎrěn [[法忍]], one of the preeminent Chán masters of the late Qing. In [[1894]], he began lecturing in the Jiāngnán [[江南]] and Jiāngběi 江北 regions, and his fame grew. In [[1899]] he accepted the offer to become abbot of Yíngjiāng Temple [[迎江寺]] in Ānhuī [[安徽]].

In [[1902]], he and others, including Dàojiē [[道階]] traveled through South and Southeast Asia to see Buddhists countries, including Burma, Sri Lanka, and India. When they returned, Yuèxiá went to practice Chán under Yěkāi [[冶開]] at Tiānníng Temple in Chángzhōu [[常州]]. On August 1, [[1906]] Yuèxiá, along with Yīngcí [[應慈]], Míngjìng 明鏡, and Wéikuān 惟寬 received dharma transmission from Zhìkāi, making them 42nd generation lineage-holders in the Línjì 臨濟 line. Rather than become abbots, Yuèxiá and Yīngcí went to Yíngjiāng Temple in [[1906]] to lecture.

In [[1909]], Yuèxiá accepted the invitation of Guì Bóhuá [[桂伯華]] to come to Tokyo to lecture. His lectures on the ''Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra'' 楞伽經, the ''Vimalakīrti Sūtra'' 維摩經, and the ''Sūtra of Perfect Enlightenment'' 圓覺經 were attended by many notable Chinese students, and he influenced many of them to take an interest in Buddhism. He stayed in Japan for eight months. When he returned in [[1910]] he was recommended by Yáng Wénhuì [[楊文會]] to serve as president of the nascent Jiāngsū Sangha Education Association [[江蘇僧教育會]], and run the Jiāngsū Sangha Normal Study Hall [[江蘇僧師範學堂]]. In [[1911]], he took an invitation to lecture at Bǎotōng Temple 寶通寺 in Húběi [[湖北]], and Dìxián [[諦閑]] took charge of the School.

With the outbreak of the revolution, Yuèxiá and Yīngcí went to Shànghǎi where they began living at Hardoon Gardens with the support of the Gardens' owner, Liza Roos (aka Mrs. Silas Hardoon) [[羅迦陵]]. In [[1912]], she helped them set up Huáyán University [[華嚴大學]] there. From [[1913]] to [[1914]] he contributed a serialized article to ''Fóxué cóngbào'' [[佛學叢報]]: "維摩詰所說經講義錄卷". Around [[1916]] The Huáyán University moved to Hǎicháo Temple 海潮寺 in Hángzhōu [[杭州]]<ref>Yú says this was because Liza Roos had started practicing some "outer path" 外道 and was forcing the monks to all come and pay homage to her and receive her blessing. Yú, 1.146c.</ref>

In [[1917]], Yuèxiá followed Yěkāi's orders and became abbot of Xīngfú Temple [[興福寺]] on Yú shān 虞山 in Chángshú 常熟, but he became ill and traveled to Yùquán Temple 玉泉寺 in Hángzhōu, where he died.

'''Zōngyǎng 宗仰 (1861-1921)''' was a Jiāngnán [[江南]] monk, most famously associated with revolutionary activities in Shànghǎi [[上海]] in the first decade of the 20th century.

== Biography ==
Zōngyǎng was tonsured at age 16 ([[1876]]) under Yàokān 藥龕 at Sānfēng Temple 三峰寺 in Chángshú County 常熟縣. After ordination he studied English, Japanese, and Sanskrit, in addition to poetry, epigraphy, and painting. (He was known throughout his life for his artistic abilities.) In [[1881]] he received full ordination at Jiāngtiān Temple [[江天寺]] at Jīnshān [[金山]] in Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]]. At Jiāngtiān Temple he studied under abbot Dàdìng [[大定]], receiving dharma transmission from him.

In [[1892]] Zōngyǎng accepted the invitation of Liza Roos (Mrs. Silas Hardoon [[羅迦陵]]) to lecture at her Kalaviṇka Hermitage [[頻伽精舍]] on Jìng'ān Road 靜安路 in Shànghǎi [[上海]].

Around the time of the Hundred Days' Reform, Zōngyǎng got to know Zhāng Tàiyán [[章太炎]], Wú Jìnghéng 吳敬恆, and Cài Yuánpéi [[蔡元培]]. When the latter organized the Chinese Education Association [[中華教育會]] in [[1902]], Zōngyǎng joined Cài, Jiǎng Zhìtián 蔣智田, Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]], Huáng Yánpéi 黃炎培, Wáng Xiǎoxú [[王小徐]], and others to form the group in Shànghǎi. When Cài left the group, Zōngyǎng took over as president, reorganizing the group as the Patriotic Study Society 愛國學社. This society ran boys' and girls' schools, and published the ''Sūbào'' 蘇報, to which Zōngyǎng contributed a number of articles. In December of [[1903]], Cài, Wú, and others associated with the Society had to flee to Japan because of what they printed in that magazine, as well as because of their other revolutionary activities. With the financial support of Liza Roos, Zōngyǎng also went to Japan.

In Japan, Zōngyǎng shared a room with Sun Yat-sen and joined his Revolutionary Alliance (''tongmeng hui'' 同盟會). Zōngyǎng returned to China in [[1908]], at which point he again took up residence at Kalaviṇka Hermitage. That same year, Liza Roos, acting on Zōngyǎng's behest, paid for a printing of the Buddhist canon in 8,416 volumes. It is called the ''Kalaviṇka Canon'' [[頻伽大藏經]].

After the revolution of [[1911]] (Tàixū [[太虛]] was living with Zōngyǎng when it broke out), Zōngyǎng was invited by Sun Yat-sen to come to Nánjīng [[南京]] to participate in the government, but Zōngyǎng declined, choosing instead to go live in obscurity.

In [[1914]], Zōngyǎng became head monk 首座 at Jiāngtiān Temple. From [[1916]] to June of [[1919]], he practiced in sealed confinement. When his period of practice was over, he traveled to Qíxiá Mountain Temple [[棲霞山寺]] in Nánjīng. He lived out the rest of his years there.

'''Yīngcí 應慈 (1873-1965)''' was a Chán Master and seminary organizer of the Republican period. He was a close associate of Yuèxiá [[月霞]] in the 1910s. He lectured widely on Huáyán thought from the 1930s to the 1950s, and led several ordinations in the 1950s.

==Biography==

Yīngcí was born to a family that originally hailed from Ānhuī [[安徽]], but had moved to Jiāngsū [[江蘇]] and become wealthy in the salt industry several generations before his birth. Yīngcí began studying under his father's tutelage at a young age, and received his ''Xiùcái'' 秀才 degree at age 15 ''suì'' 歲''. His father died the following year.

In [[1898]], Yīngcí decided to ordain and traveled to Pǔtuóshān [[普陀山]], where, at Fǎyǔ Temple [[法雨寺]], he met and was tonsured by Chán Master Míngxìng [[明性]]. He followed Míngxìng to Nánjīng, and studied Chán and various Mahāyāna texts with him until [[1900]], when he went to Tiāntóng Temple [[天童寺]] in Níngbō [[寧波]]. There, Yīngcí received full ordination under Jìchán [[寄禪]]. Following his ordination Yīngcí studied Chán for several years under Dàdìng [[大定]] at Jīnshān's [[金山]] Jiāngtián Temple [[江天寺]], and under Yuèlǎng [[月朗]] at Gāomǐn Temple [[高旻寺]] in Yánghzōu [[揚州]].

In [[1903]], Yīngcí began studying under Chán Master Yěkāi [[冶開]] at Tiānníng Temple [[天寧寺]] in Chángzhōu [[常州]]. That year he received from Yěkāi license to teach (''rènkě'' 認可), and three years later, on the first day of the eighth lunar month of Guāngxù 光緒 32 ([[1906]]), he received dharma transmission from Yěkāi and was made abbot of the temple. Four monks received dharma transmission from Yěkāi that day, the other three were Míngjìng 明鏡, Yuèxiá [[月霞]], and Wéikuān 惟寬. They each became 42nd-generation dharma holders in the Línjì 臨濟 lineage. Neither Yīngcí nor Yuèxiá wished to stay and become abbot, and Yīngcí soon followed Yuèxiá (who was 17 years his senior) as the latter embarked on a sūtra lecture tour.

Over the following years, Yīngcí continued to accompany Yuèxiá. In [[1909]], Yuèxiá accepted the invitation of Zhāng Tàiyán [[章太炎]] to come to Tokyo to lecture. Yuèxiá's lectures on the ''Laṅkāvatāra'' 楞伽 and ''Vimalakīrti Sūtras'' 維摩經 and the ''Sūtra of Perfect Enlightenment'' 圓覺經 were attended by many notable Chinese, and he influenced many of them to take an interest in Buddhism. Yīngcí and Yuèxiá stayed in Japan for eight months. When they returned in [[1910]], Yuèxiá was recommended by Yáng Wénhuì [[楊文會]] to serve as president of the nascent Jiāngsū Sangha Education Association [[江蘇僧教育會]], and run the Jiāngsū Sangha Normal Study Hall [[江蘇僧師範學堂]]. Yīngcí also taught at the Study Hall during that period. In [[1911]], they accepted an invitation to lecture at Bǎotōng Temple 寶通寺 in Húběi [[湖北]], and Dìxián [[諦閑]] took charge of the School.

With the outbreak of the revolution, Yuèxiá and Yīngcí went to Shànghǎi where they began living at Hardoon Gardens with the support of the Gardens' owner, Liza Roos [[羅迦陵]]. In [[1912]], she helped them set up Huáyán University [[華嚴大學]] there. The school moved to Hǎicháo Temple 海潮寺 in Hángzhōu [[杭州]] in [[1916]], or thereabouts.<ref>Yú says this was because Liza Roos had started practicing some "outer path" 外道 and was forcing the monks to all come and pay homage to her and receive her blessing. Yú, 1.146c.</ref>

In [[1917]], Yuèxiá followed Yěkāi's orders and became abbot of Xīngfú Temple [[興福寺]] on Yú shān 虞山 in Chángshú [[常熟]], but he became ill and traveled to Yùquán Temple [[玉泉寺]], Hángzhōu, where he died. After Yuèxiá's death, Yīngcí returned to Xīngfú Temple where, acting on one of Yuèxiá's last requests, transmitted the dharma to Chísōng [[持松]] and started the Dharmadhatu Seminary [[法界學院]] in [[1919]]. He spent much of the next few years at Xīngfú Temple.

From [[1922]] to [[1924]], Yīngcí went into seclusion (''bìguān'' 閉關) at Pútí Temple [[菩提寺]] in Hángzhōu. When he came out, he accepted the invitation of Jìngbō 靜波 to come to Qīngliáng Temple 清涼寺 in Chángzhōu [[常州]] to establish the Qīngliáng Seminary [[清涼學院]]. The first class at the Qīngliáng Seminary graduated in [[1927]] and a new class of 20 students started in August of [[1928]]. Due to disagreements between him and Jìngbō, in [[1929]] Yīngcí was forced to relocate to nearby Yǒngqìng Temple 永慶寺, where the second class graduated in February, [[1931]]. This was the end of the school.

From [[1934]] to [[1937]], Yīngcí traveled widely, giving lectures in Chángzhōu, Níngbō, Shànghǎi, Sūzhōu, Mt. Wǔtái [[五台山]], and Wúxí [[無錫]]. He spent much of the war giving lectures in Shànghǎi, focusing on Huáyán 華嚴 thought.

Yīngcí presided over ordinations in 1951 and 1958.

In [[1953]], Yīngcí was elected an officer in the nascent Chinese Buddhist Association [[中國佛教協會]]. He was elected vice president in 1962, but retired soon after due to poor health. He died on August 31, 1965, at the Yìnyuè Chán Hall 印月禪堂 (which he had helped establish), at Cíyún Temple [[慈雲寺]].

'''Yìnguāng 印光 (1862-1940)''' was a prolific and long-lived monastic who is credited with reviving the Pure Land school 淨土宗 in modern China.

==Biography==

Yìnguāng received a classical education as a child, where he read criticisms of Buddhism by Hányù 韓愈 and Oūyáng Xiū 歐陽修. After suffering several bouts of illness, however, he began to change his views, and in [[1881]] had his head shaved at the Lotus Cave Temple 蓮華洞寺 on Southern Wǔtái mountain 南五台, in the Zhōngnán mountain range 終南山. While traveling in Húběi [[湖北]], he read a copy of ''The Longshu Pure Land Text'' 龍舒淨土文<ref>Originally written in 1160, it appears in the Taishō canon, Vol. 47 no. 1970 as the 龍舒增廣淨土文. See also the Foguang Dictionary 佛光大辭典 p.6389, entry for "龍舒淨土文".</ref> and was convinced of the value of Pure Land practice. The next year he was fully ordained at Shuāngxī Temple 雙溪寺 in Shǎnxī [[陝西]] by Yìnhǎi 印海. In the sixth month of that year Yìnguāng suffered from an eye illness that threatened his sight, but through recitation of the Buddha's name (''niànfó'' 念佛) and the copying of texts his sight was fully restored. In [[1886]] after hearing that at Zīfú Temple 資福寺 on Mount Hóngluó 紅螺山 near Běijīng [[北京]] they were following only Pure Land practices, he bid farewell to his master and went there, were he served in a number of monastic positions. Apart from recitation of Buddha's name, he also read scriptural texts, making great progress in both practices.

In [[1893]] Huàwén 化聞 from Fǎyǔ Temple 法雨寺 on Mount Pǔtuó [[普陀山]] came to the capital looking to acquire a set of the Buddhist canon and, impressed with Yìnguāng's abilities, asked him to accompany him back to Mount Pǔtuó with him. There, Yìnguāng worked in the Andān Scripture Hall 安單經藏樓. In [[1897]], after persistent requests from the community, he lectured on the 阿彌陀經要解便蒙鈔<ref>Extended Canon 卍續藏經 Vol. X22, no. 430.</ref> and then went into seclusion (''bìguān'' 閉關) in the Jewel Hall 珠寶殿 of the temple. This would be the first of two three-year periods of seclusion, during which he continued to study the scriptures and to write. It was during this time that he and
Gāo Hénián [[高鶴年]], a Buddhist layman from Jiāngsū [[江蘇]], began their life-long friendship and correspondence. In [[1904]] Dìxián [[諦閑]], who had met Yìnguāng on Mount Pǔtuó, asked for his help in getting a set of the canon for Tóutuó Temple 頭陀寺 in Wēnzhōu 溫州, so the two went to Běijīng.

In general Yìnguāng was not fond of meeting people, nor was he eager to have his name known. When his friend Gāo Hénián published a series of his writings in [[1914]] in the ''Buddhist Miscellany'' [[佛學叢報]], he gave "Ever-Ashamed" (''Chángcán'' 常慚) as the author's name.<ref>The 中興淨宗印光大師行業記 says these were published in 1912, the first year of the periodical, but the MFQ index gives 1914 as the date, with the pieces appearing in nos. 10 and 12.</ref> The pieces attracted attention, however, and in [[1917]] the Buddhist layman and publisher Xú Wèirú [[徐蔚如]] published a series of three letters written by Yìnguāng and his friends as ''Letters of Master Yìnguāng'' 印光法師信稿. Five thousand copies were printed and given away for free. From this point on, Yìnguāng began to receive more and more letters, eventually more than one hundred per month. A year later the first volume of Yìnguāng's collected writings 印光大師文鈔 was published in Běijīng, followed by further volumes published by the Commercial Press 商務印書館 and Zhonghua Books 中華書局 in Shànghǎi.

In [[1922]] and [[1923]], Yìnguāng went to preach in Dìnghǎi county 定海縣 prisons at the request of the local magistrate. Afterward he, Wáng Yìting [[王一亭]], Shěn Xīngshū 沈惺叔 and other Shànghái laymen established the Jiāngsū Prisoner Reformation Society 江蘇監獄感化會 to send speakers to minister to prisoners and encourage them to practice Buddhism. During the political instability of the Northern Expedition ([[1926]] - [[1928]]), Buddhist temples were threatened by local officials who were following the old "Build Education with Temple Property" [[廟產興學]] slogan. Yìnguāng worked with Dìxián to dispatch representatives to the government and arrange protection for temple properties. During the [[1935]] National Conference on Education a plan was floated to convert all the temples in the country to schools, but thanks to Yìnguāng, Yuányīng [[圓瑛]] and others who criticized the plan in the media, it was eventually abandoned.

From about [[1918]] Yìnguāng often traveled to Shànghǎi, where he made contact with Buddhist laymen such as Fàn Gǔnóng [[范古農]], Shī Xǐngzhī [[施省之]], Wáng Yìtíng, Wén Lántíng [[聞蘭亭]], and Zhū Zǐqiáo [[朱子橋]]. By [[1928]], however, he had grown weary of the demands on his time and the flood of letters, and so in [[1930]] he moved to Bàoguó Temple 報國寺 in Sūzhōu [[蘇州]] where he could be away from human society. After a few years the community at the temple had grown so much that the main hall had to be rebuilt to accommodate the increased numbers. By [[1937]], when Sūzhōu was about to be occupied by the advancing Japanese army, Yìnguāng was forced to move again, this time to nearby Língyán Temple 靈巖寺, which would thus become known as an important center for the Pure Land school in China.

It is said that Yìnguāng knew in the spring of [[1940]] that he would die later that year. By late October he was ill, and he gathered the assembly together to arrange the affairs of the temple. On November 4th he rose from bed at one in the morning, instructed his disciples, and then silently recited the Buddha's name. At about 5 o'clock, while the entire assembly recited the Buddha's name, he passed away. His body was cremated and his ashed interned in a stupa on the mountain.

Over the next years he taught at secondary and postsecondary schools, including ones associated with the Shin, Tendai, and Nichiren Sects. He also held positions at Shin temples and seminaries.

Tokiwa devoted much of his life to the study of Chinese Buddhism, and between [[1920]] and his death he visited China five times.

'''Zhìguāng 智光 (1889-1963)''' was an important educator and abbot in Jiāngsū and Táiwān.

==Biography==

Zhìguāng was tonsured at age 13 ''suì'' 歲 under Dàorú 道如 at Hóngkāi Temple 宏開寺 in his home area of in Tài County 泰縣. Four years later he received full ordination at Lóngchāng Temple [[隆昌寺]] on Mt. Bǎohuá [[寶華山]]. Over the next three years Zhìguāng sought to raise his level of education, but each time the school at which he enrolled was forced to close after a year or two of operation. The year after his ordination, he enrolled at the Universal Saṇgha Study Hall [[普通僧學堂]] at Tiānníng Temple [[天寧寺]] in Yángzhōu [[揚州]]. When the Study Hall closed, Zhìguāng went to Nánjīng [[南京]] where he began studying at the nascent Jetavana Monastery [[祇洹精舍]]. After the hermitage closed in [[1910]], he once again changed schools, this time to the Jiāngsū Saṇgha Normal Study Hall [[江蘇僧師範學堂]].

After the founding of the Republic in [[1911]], Zhìguāng returned to Hóngkāi Temple where he was the principal of the Confucian-Buddhist Primary School [[儒釋初高小學]]. This school closed after only three terms. The following year ([[1914]]), Zhìguāng and his student Ǎitíng [[靄亭]] went to Shànghǎi [[上海]] to enroll at Huáyán University [[華嚴大學]], which was headed by Yuèxiá [[月霞]]. The two monks moved with the university when circumstances forced its relocation later the year to Hǎicháo Temple 海潮寺 in Hángzhōu [[杭州]]. Zhìguāng graduated in [[1916]] and began to follow Yuèxiá as he traveled and lectured. During this time, Zhìguāng continued his studies of Huáyán [[華嚴]] thought.

From the winter of [[1917]] to [[1921]], Zhìguāng studied under Yěkāi [[冶開]] at Tiānníng Temple [[天寧寺]] in Chángzhōu [[常州]]. From [[1921]] to [[1923]], Zhìguāng practiced in sealed confinement at Běishān Temple 北山寺 in Tài County. In [[1923]], he accepted a post at Dìnghuì Temple [[定慧寺]] on Mt. Jiāo 焦山 in Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]]. It was at this time that he formally took the style Zhìguāng and the name Wénjué 文覺.

In [[1929]] and [[1930]], Zhìguāng accepted invitations from laymen in Hong Kong [[香港]] and went there twice to lecture. In [[1930]] he also wrote ''Fùnǚ xuéfó yúanqǐ'' 婦女學佛緣起 (Ladies' Guide to Giving Rise to the Karma for Studying Buddhism).

In [[1934]], Zhìguāng became abbot of Dìnghuì Temple and transformed the temple from a private temple into a public monastery 十方叢林. He also immediately arranged for the opening of the Jiāoshān Buddhist Seminary [[焦山佛學院]], where he lectured. The school was closed for several years when, after the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Japanese soldiers discovered Chinese soldiers hiding at the temple and put it to the torch. The school reopened in [[1940]].

After the War, Zhìguāng's classmate from the Jetavana Monastery, Tàixū [[太虛]], came to Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]] to work on a new organization he was starting. He was hosted by Zhìguāng at the Jiāoshān Buddhist Seminary.

In the winter of [[1948]] Zhìguāng fled to strife of the Civil War by going to Shànghǎi. In May of the following year, he fled to Táiběi [[台北]], Táiwān [[台灣]]. In [[1952]] he became abbot of the Huáyán Lotus Society [[華嚴蓮社]], which had been built by his disciple Nántíng [[南亭]] on Jì'nán Street 濟南路 in Táiběi.

In [[1953]] he and Tàicāng [[太滄]] oversaw ordinations at Dàxiān Temple 大仙寺 in Táinán [[台南]].

Zhìguāng died March 14, 1963 in Táiběi.

'''Xūyún 虛雲 (1840/[[1864]]<ref>Daniela Campo has suggested that a more realistic date for Xuyun's birth is approximately 1864, estimating his age at the time of his death to be 92.</ref>-1959)''' was a renowned Chán master whose long life spanned the Qing, Republican, and People's Republic periods of modern Chinese history.

== Biography ==

Xūyún's family was originally from Xiāngxiāng 湘鄉 in Húnán [[湖南]], but his father moved to Quánzhōu 泉州 to take up an official position. His mother is said to have died in childbirth, and his grandmother died when he was 13. In [[1858]] he became a novice at Yǒngquán Temple 湧泉寺 on Drum Mountain 鼓山 in Fúzhōu 福州, and the following year he took the full monastic precepts.

Over the next few decades, Xūyún traveled widely, visiting different temples in China, India, Thailand and Malaysia.

In [[1949]] Xūyún traveled to Běijīng [[北京]] to help organize the creation of the Chinese Buddhist Association [[中國佛教協會]]. When the association was established in 1953, he was chosen as its honorary chairperson. He spent his final years at Yúnmén Temple [[雲門寺]], where he passed away in 1959.

'''Zōngyǎng 宗仰 (1861-1921)''' was a Jiāngnán [[江南]] monk, most famously associated with revolutionary activities in Shànghǎi [[上海]] in the first decade of the 20th century.

== Biography ==
Zōngyǎng was tonsured at age 16 ([[1876]]) under Yàokān 藥龕 at Sānfēng Temple 三峰寺 in Chángshú County 常熟縣. After ordination he studied English, Japanese, and Sanskrit, in addition to poetry, epigraphy, and painting. (He was known throughout his life for his artistic abilities.) In [[1881]] he received full ordination at Jiāngtiān Temple [[江天寺]] at Jīnshān [[金山]] in Zhènjiāng [[鎮江]]. At Jiāngtiān Temple he studied under abbot Dàdìng [[大定]], receiving dharma transmission from him.

In [[1892]] Zōngyǎng accepted the invitation of Liza Roos (Mrs. Silas Hardoon [[羅迦陵]]) to lecture at her Kalaviṇka Hermitage [[頻伽精舍]] on Jìng'ān Road 靜安路 in Shànghǎi [[上海]].

Around the time of the Hundred Days' Reform, Zōngyǎng got to know Zhāng Tàiyán [[章太炎]], Wú Jìnghéng 吳敬恆, and Cài Yuánpéi [[蔡元培]]. When the latter organized the Chinese Education Association [[中華教育會]] in [[1902]], Zōngyǎng joined Cài, Jiǎng Zhìtián 蔣智田, Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]], Huáng Yánpéi 黃炎培, Wáng Xiǎoxú [[王小徐]], and others to form the group in Shànghǎi. When Cài left the group, Zōngyǎng took over as president, reorganizing the group as the Patriotic Study Society 愛國學社. This society ran boys' and girls' schools, and published the ''Sūbào'' 蘇報, to which Zōngyǎng contributed a number of articles. In December of [[1903]], Cài, Wú, and others associated with the Society had to flee to Japan because of what they printed in that magazine, as well as because of their other revolutionary activities. With the financial support of Liza Roos, Zōngyǎng also went to Japan.

In Japan, Zōngyǎng shared a room with Sun Yat-sen and joined his Revolutionary Alliance (''tongmeng hui'' 同盟會). Zōngyǎng returned to China in [[1908]], at which point he again took up residence at Kalaviṇka Hermitage. That same year, Liza Roos, acting on Zōngyǎng's behest, paid for a printing of the Buddhist canon in 8,416 volumes. It is called the ''Kalaviṇka Canon'' [[頻伽大藏經]].

After the revolution of [[1911]] (Tàixū [[太虛]] was living with Zōngyǎng when it broke out), Zōngyǎng was invited by Sun Yat-sen to come to Nánjīng [[南京]] to participate in the government, but Zōngyǎng declined, choosing instead to go live in obscurity.

In [[1914]], Zōngyǎng became head monk 首座 at Jiāngtiān Temple. From [[1916]] to June of [[1919]], he practiced in sealed confinement. When his period of practice was over, he traveled to Qíxiá Mountain Temple [[棲霞山寺]] in Nánjīng. He lived out the rest of his years there.

Greg: /* Scriptural Presses */

[[File:Zaijia_sample.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Publications such as ''Essential Buddhist Texts for Laypeople'' were an important means of communicating religious teachings and new ideas to Buddhists throughout the Chinese-reading world.]]

'''Bibliography and Publishing''' are two important topics in the history of Modern Chinese Buddhism. New material and social technologies allowed Buddhists to produce texts in much greater numbers than before. The content of the texts was also geared to the modern age, with introductory textbooks, commentaries, and treaties on Buddhism produced on a massive scale.

Consult the [[Print bibliography]] for research resources on Modern Chinese Buddhism.

== Scriptural Presses ==

== Publishing Technologies ==
Those used in printing Buddhist publications are included here

=== Xylography 調版印刷 ===
Also known as woodblock 木板 or woodcut printing. Flat wooden blocks are carved with the text or images in reverse relief, the block is inked, paper pressed to its surface and the back of the page rubbed to make the imprint. About 15,000 copies could be printed from one set of blocks before it needed to be repaired, after which another 10,000 copies were possible. Up to 30,000 copies could be possible off of one block if the printing was a low quality.<ref>Christopher A. Reed, ''Gutenberg in Shanghai: Chinese Print Capitalism, 1876 - 1937'' (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2004), 110.</ref> Use of woodblock printing dates back to the 8th century, with the earliest dated printed book being the Diamond Sutra scroll from Dunhuang in the British Library, which dates to 868 CE.

=== Lithography 平版印刷 ===
* Stone-based 石印
* Stone-based or zinc-plate 照相石印
* Chromolithography 彩色石印
* Offset lithography 橡皮版; 膠版
Uses a plate, ink and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) medium. Can reproduce calligraphy and painted images.

=== Letterpress 凸版印刷 ===
* Lead-type 鉛印
* Movable type 字模; 活字
* Typeset in lead type 鉛字排印
Individual characters are cast as pieces of type and arranged into a ''forme''. The type is inked and paper is pressed against it to print. Produces a very even and standard layout, but there are restrictions regarding the variety of fonts, rare or alternate characters, and textual layout.

The '''Qìshā Canon 磧砂藏''' is an imprint of the Buddhist canon, published as a 591-volume photographic reprint in Shànghǎi [[上海]] between [[1933]] and [[1936]].

== History ==

Carving of the blocks for the original version of this canon began in 1234 at Yánshèng Yuàn 延聖院 in Jiāngsū [[江蘇]]. The temple's name was later changed to Qìshā Temple 磧砂寺. When the temple burned down in 1258, carving was put on hold for thirty years, beginning again in 1291. It was finally completed in 1322 during the Yuán 元 Dynasty. In total it filled 591 boxes, in 1532 sections, with texts totaling 6362 fascicles.

In [[1929]], Zhū Zǐqiáo [[朱子橋]] discovered a nearly complete edition of this canon in Xī'ān's [[西安]] Wòlóng [[臥龍寺]] and Kāiyuán Temples [[開元寺]]. After this discovery he went to Shànghǎi, where, with the help of Dīng Fúbǎo [[丁福保]], Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]], Lǐ Jīngwěi [[李經緯]], and others, he established an organization to publish photoprint reproductions of that canon. This group dispatched the monk Fànchéng [[範成]] to search around Shānxī [[山西]] to find the rest of the canon. Fànchéng unearthed a Jīn 金 Dynasty edition at Guǎngshèng Temple 廣勝寺 in Zhàochéng County 趙城縣, which was used to fill in the missing pieces of the Sòng canon. The total size of the reprint is 6,176 fascicles, or 593 sewn books in 60 boxes.

The reprint contains a preface written by Oūyáng Jiàn [[歐陽漸]].

'''''Hǎicháo yīn'' 海潮音''' (Sound of the Sea Tide) was the longest-running Chinese Buddhist periodical, and one of the most influential.

Its precursor was ''Juéshè cóngshū'' [[覺社叢書]] (Awakening Society Collectanea). Founded in [[1918]], but after its fifth issue in [[1919]] it was renamed the ''Hǎicháo yīn.'' Issues 1-6 under the new title featured on their covers the note "The monthly publication compiled by the Awakening Society" 覺社編叢之月刊, perhaps to emphasize its link with the society and its earlier publication. Later issues also feature similar notes.

It initially had quite a small circulation, perhaps as few as 100 copies per issue, until Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] started publishing it in the early 1930s, after which it gained a much wider distribution.<ref>This may be one reason why, for example, in 1930 Earl Cressy's survey reported only one monastic in Hángzhōu [[杭州]] who read it. See Gregory Adam Scott, "The Dharma [[Through a Glass Darkly]]: On the Study of Modern Chinese Buddhism through Protestant Missionary Sources 彷彿對著鏡子觀看的佛法：藉由基督教傳教士的史料研究現代中國佛教", ''Shengyan yanjiu'' 聖嚴研究 (Sheng Yen Studies), Vol. 2 (July, 2011): 47-73.</ref>

Note that a better quality reproduction can be found in the edition published in 2003 by Shànghǎi gǔjì chūbǎnshè 上海古籍出版社. This is especially true for photographs.<ref>The LC call number for this collection is BQ3.H353.</ref>

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''Timothy Richard 李提摩太 (1845-1919)''' was a Welsh missionary who spent 40 years in China, and who studied and published on Buddhism in China.

==Biography==

Richard was born on October 10, 1845 in Carmarthenshire in the south of Wales. He was baptized in [[1859]], in the midst of the Second Evangelical Awakening in Wales and England. In [[1869]] he was accepted into the Baptist Missionary Society and sailed for China the same year, arriving in Yantai 煙台 where he lived until 1875, when he moved to Qingzhou 青州.

It was after moving to Qingzhou that Richard began to dress in Chinese clothes and to study Chinese religious texts, including the Confucian classics, the ''Qingxinlu'' 清心錄 (Records to Clarify the Mind) and the Diamond Sūtra 金剛經 (Jin'gang boruo poluomiduo jing). He also sought local religious leaders to bring his missionary message to "the worthy," following the injunction of Matthew 10:11. Richard saw a common thread of truth running through all religious expressions, a thread he traced back to early Christianity, which he believed was brought to China by Nestorian Christians and which influenced the development of Mahayana Buddhism.

[[File:Timothy_Richard_Chinese_Dress_small.jpg|left|Timothy Richard and wife in Chinese dress]]In his [[1906]] ''Calendar of the Gods in China'', Richard identified vegetarians in China as the "most devout and sincerest people in the land," for

<blockquote>in addition to their vegetarianism a large number of them have secretly imbibed much of the mystic teaching of Christianity which the bigoted persecuting Confucianists would not tolerate. The Christian truth brought to China by the Mahayana Buddhism, by Nestorians and by early Catholics is found deeply imbibed in their secret teaching. It only needs the sympathetic spiritual eye to see it under a heathen garb.<ref>Timothy Richard, ''Calendar of the Gods in China'' (Shanghai: Methodist Publishing House, 1906), viii.</ref></blockquote>

This was in sharp contrast to most other missionaries and Buddhologists of his day, who saw the older, Theravada tradition as a purer form of Buddhism than the Mahayana tradition followed by Buddhists in most of East Asia.

Richard continued to see Mahayana Buddhism as a "higher" expression of religious truth than other religious traditions he saw in China. In his ''Guide to Buddahood'', published in [[1907]], compares "old and new Buddhism" to the Old and New Testaments of the Christian faith, contrasting the "primitive atheistic views" of Hinayana with the "advanced" Mahayana, which has the "God of endless age" Amitābha at its root.<ref>Timothy Richard, ''Guide to Buddhahood: Being a Standard Manual of Chinese Buddhism'' (Shanghai: Christian Literature Society, 1907), i.</ref>

This idea was further developed in his 1910 book ''The New Testament of Higher Buddhism'', which consists of translations of the ''Awakening of Mahayana Faith'' (''dasheng qixin lun'' 大乘起信論), the ''Essence of the Lotus Sūtra'', the ''Great Physician's Twelve Vows'' and "The Creed of Half Asia" (the ''Heart Sūtra''). Richard is said to have first become aware of the importance of the ''Awakening of Mahayana Faith'' in [[1884]] after meeting Yáng Wénhuì [[楊文會]] who was himself converted to Buddhism after reading the book. In [[1894]] Richard invited Yáng to Shanghai to help with his translation. Anecdotal evidence indicates that Yáng was not pleased with the outcome of the collaboration, complaining that Richard insisted on using his own terms and ended up distorting the meaning of the text.

Richard's significance for the study of Modern Chinese Buddhism lies in his emphasizing of Mahayana texts and beliefs during an age when most European and American scholars of East Asian religion saw contemporary expressions of Buddhism as a syncretic, and thus debased, version of the more ancient and pure Theravada expression.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.

'''''Fóxué bànyuèkān'' 佛學半月刊''' (Buddhism Semimonthly) was a Buddhist newspaper published by Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] that ran from [[1930]] to about [[1944]]. It was the largest Republican-era Buddhist periodical in terms of publication size.

It went to runs of more than 10,000, some of which were sold, others of which were donated. The size of each individual issue varied from 7 to 20 pages, with an average of 10 pages per issue. Most of the famous writers of the time published in this newspaper. It dealt with a variety of current events and was known as being fairly confrontational.
