Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Chinese Buddhism has undergone significant transformations alongside the profound changes in modern Chinese society. The themes of continuity and rupture, destruction and regeneration have consistently been the challenges that modern Chinese Buddhism has had to confront and navigate. In this process, the changes in Buddhism are closely linked to modern political transformations. Practitioners of Buddhism have also made various new attempts to renew tradition from different perspectives. Analyzing these issues will not only help us understand the driving forces behind the modern evolution of Buddhism a century ago but also contributes to a better understanding of the current situation of Chinese Buddhism.
The conference will center around three primary themes: 1) Modern Chinese Buddhism and the Nation-State, 2) Modern Chinese Buddhism and Nationalism, and 3) Modern Chinese Buddhism and the World. The objective of the conference is to delve into the revival and reinvention of Chinese Buddhism within the framework of modern nation-building.
