| Résumé: | Chinese national laws and regulations clearly stipulate that national education should be separated from religion, and that organizations and individuals are not allowed to engage in religious activities on campus. This does not mean that religious people are excluded from university campuses. In fact, there are some Buddhist monks working and teaching at universities in contemporary China. Here I am trying to examine Chinese laws, existing literature, public information, and interview some Buddhist monks who work in Chinese universities. I hope to show the situation of Buddhist monks working on university campus in contemporary China. This includes their reasons for working at universities, their Buddhist identity, the sources of their living expenses, their religious practices, and their opinions regarding the policy on the separation of education from religion. |
