One of Master Sheng Yen’s life-long missions was to make Chinese Buddhist teachings and values known. The Bi-annual Chinese Buddhism & Sheng Yen International Conference was started in accordance to Master Sheng Yen’s mission and has been a valued revenue of academic interactions for many Buddhist scholars. It is part of Sheng Yen Educational Foundation’s effort to build a multi-channeled and interdisciplinary research platform for Chinese Buddhist Studies.
