The
Exchange of Academic Publications
The
Institute maintains an ongoing exchange of academic publications with other
research organizations, university libraries, and publishers of Buddhist periodicals.
Our publications come in two forms: two annual journals, the Chung-Hwa
Buddhist Journal and Chung-Hwa Buddhist Studies, and books in the
Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies Series. Regular exchange of these
publications is carried out with sixteen domestic and 222 foreign
organizations including those in Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia.
Our Academic Foundation
We have
recently celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the
Institute’s forerunner, the Institute of Buddhist Studies at the China
Academy, which began formally enrolling students in 1981. Enrollment at
Chung-Hwa has continued through the twentieth anniversary in 2001, to the
present. Despite one year when admission was temporarily suspended, there has
never been a single day in these twenty years in which we have ceased making
efforts to carry on the Buddha’s wisdom through academic cultivation here at
the Institute.
During these
twenty years, we have invited not only domestic scholars specializing in
various fields, but also those from Japan, the USA, India, Tibet, Burma, and
Germany as full-time, part-time, or guest professors to bring the Institute
the broad and impressive field of international perspectives and professional
insights. Perhaps most appreciated are the faculty who were previously
students at the Institute and have returned to teach after earning their
doctorate degrees abroad. Their service to the Institute helps form one of
the most highly qualified faculty among domestic research institutes.

The Series
publishes works in the following areas: annotated Chinese translations of
Buddhist canonical literature from Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, or Japanese;
instructional materials for these languages; academic reference books; and
scholarly works specializing in Buddhist literature, history, and thought.
The Institute’s
Series has won recognition from national and international academic circles.

Graduate
Student Scholarships
Since 1988,
the Institute has regularly awarded scholarships in the amount of NT$ 30,000–100,000
to graduate students who have completed outstanding M.A. theses and Ph.D.
dissertations. Graduate students at domestic (i.e., in Taiwan) colleges and
universities are eligible to apply, and only after strict scrutiny are the
best theses and dissertations selected. Especially outstanding works will be
recommended by the Academic Editing and Reviewing Committee for publication.
As of 2001, we have been soliciting academic articles for twelve years, and
during this time the scholarship has been presented to eleven Ph.D. students
and forty M.A. students.
