'''Yìnshùn 印順 (1906-2004)''' was perhaps the most respected Chinese scholar-monk during the latter half of the 20th century.

==Biography==
Yìnshùn studied at both traditional academies and at modern schools growing up. His father had him study Chinese medicine when he was young. He was tonsured Qīngniàn 清念 under at Fúquán Hermitage 福泉庵 on Pǔtuóshān [[普陀山]] in [[1930]]. He received full ordination later in November under Yúanyīng [[圓瑛]] at Tiāntóng Temple [[天童寺]]. After ordination he enrolled at the Mǐnnán Buddhist Seminary [[閩南佛學院]]. At the request of the school's principle, Dàxǐng [[大醒]], he went and taught at the Gǔshān Buddhist Seminary [[鼓山佛學院]] for a semester, where he met Xūyún [[虛雲]] and Cízhōu [[慈舟]]. After half a year, he returned to the Mǐnnán Buddhist Seminary, where he studied for several years.

Eventually, Yìnshùn decided to study the scriptures by himself. Qīngniàn helped him get established in the Scripture Hall at Huìjì Temple [[慧濟寺]] on Pǔtuóshān. After several years he went to the World Buddhist Studies Center [[世界佛學苑]] in Wǔchāng [[武昌]] where he studied Sānlùn 三論 texts. In [[1936]], Tàixū [[太虛]] asked him to advise students in that school of thought at the Wǔchāng Buddhist Seminary [[武昌佛學院]].

In [[1938]], Yìnshùn fled the Second-Sino Japanese War by moving to Chóngqìng [[重慶]], where he immediately began teaching at the Sino-Tibetan Institute [[漢藏教理院]]. Notable students of his at the time included Yǎnpéi [[演培]]. In the fall of [[1941]], Yǎnpéi was asked by Tàixū to start the Fǎwáng Buddhist Seminary [[法王佛學院]] in Héjiāng 合江, Sìchuān [[四川]]. Yǎnpéi invited Yìnshùn to come serve as guiding teacher, which he did until [[1944]]. Around this time Xùmíng [[續明]] became Yìnshùn's close associate.

After the end of the War, Yìnshùn and his students made their way east across the devastated landscape. Along the way there were briefly guests of Kāng Jìyáo [[康寄遙]] in Xī'ān [[西安]]. They finally arrived in Shànghǎi [[上海]] in January [[1946]]. They paid homage to Tàixū at Yùfó Temple [[玉佛寺]], then followed his orders to establish the Wǔlín Buddhist Seminary [[武林佛學院]] in Hángzhōu [[杭州]].

After Tàixū's death on March 12, [[1947]], Yìnshùn and Xùmíng edited the ''Tàixū dàshī quánjí'' 太虛大師全集. In October of [[1948]], they were invited by Xìngyuàn [[性願]] to help oversee ordinations at Nánpǔtuó Temple [[南普陀寺]] in Xiàmén [[夏門]]. Yìnshùn stayed and started a lecture series, but by the middle of [[1949]] the Civil War forced him and several of his associates to flee to Hong Kong [[香港]].

In Hong Kong, Yìnshùn moved from place to place. He sought to establish hermitages and lecture series, and a few were successfully carried off. After representing the R.O.C. at an international Buddhist meeting in Japan, he settled in Táiwān [[台灣]], and became abbot of Shàndǎo Temple [[善導寺]]. He also took over editing the ''Hǎicháo yīn'' [[海潮音]] after the death of Dàxìng. He left Shàndǎo Temple in 1957 and settled at Fúyán Hermitage 福嚴精舍 in Xīnzhú 新竹.

The Library and Information Center is fortunate to be able to host the Database of Modern Chinese Buddhism. Personally, I have always been interested in the dynamics between Buddhist thought and practice and what, in the absence of a better term, is called modernity.
