Wuhan, China -- In order to review and outline the successful experiences of Buddhism study in the last one hundred years, Philosophy School of Wuhan University, with the kind help from The Educational Fund of Taiwan Foguang Shan and the Local Government of Guangshan County, has planed to front for International Symposium of Buddhism Study in Last one Hundred Years at Wuhan University next autumn.
The Organizers hope to congregate the people of insight to have a meaningful discussion, so as to give historical summary of the productions of early founders and smart judgments on the contributions and investigations of contemporary scholars.
