> July 1 - July 15, 2011
> Application deadline: May 1, 2011
>
> Sponsored by the Woodenfish Project, the Buddhism in China program offers
> graduate students and advanced undergraduates the opportunity for direct
> and intensive engagement with important historical centers of Chinese
> Buddhism and culture. The 2011 program takes Sichuan as its focus. In
> addition to Mount Emei, this years itinerary includes the Great Buddha at
> Leshan, the Dazu Grottoes, various sites in Chengdu (the Zhaojue Temple,
> the Manjusri Temple, Dufus Cottage, the Zhuge Liang Shrine, Qingyang
> Abbey, etc), Chongqing (Huayan and Luohan Temples), and Tibetan Buddhist
> monasteries in and around Kangding. Through personal tours of these
> locations, participants gain on-the-ground knowledge of the history and
> diversity of Buddhism in China, its relationship to other cultural
> institutions, and its ongoing vitality. Special attention is given to
> introducing participants to potential sources and avenues for research and
> to promoting interaction with Chinese scholars.
>
> Graduate students currently enrolled in MA or PhD programs who have
> primary research interests in Chinese Buddhism or related fields (e.g.,
> Buddhism in other Asian nations, other Chinese religious traditions, Asian
> philosophy, Buddhist art history, Chinese history, etc.) and upper-level
> undergraduate students of academic promise and cognate interests are
> eligible to apply. Our program is geared toward fostering exchange between
> scholars in China and in the Western nations. Though open to students of
> all universities, we tend to privilege applicants currently enrolled in
> Western universities and English-speaking students. Faculty are also
> welcome and encouraged to participate. While proficiency in spoken and
> written Chinese is desirable, it is not a necessary condition for
> eligibility for participation in the program. Site introductions will
> often be given in Mandarin Chinese and interpreted into English by
> bilingual scholars, thus allowing full accessibility for all participants
> regardless of language background. For participants with proficiency in
> Mandarin, the program is also designed to provide opportunity for language
> exercise in sustained academic interaction with Chinese scholars and
> religious professionals.
>
> Participants may receive university credit from the University of the West
> (REL 427 Chinese Buddhism: Philosophy and Practice for undergraduates and
> REL 638 Seminar in Chinese Buddhism: Philosophy and Practice for graduate
> students).
>
> Housing, meals, (breakfast and lunch participants will be free for dinner
> arrangements), and local transportation within China are funded by a
> scholarship from the Woodenfish Project in association with Foguang Shan
> and will be provided to participants for the duration of the program.
> Participants, both students and the faculty, are responsible for their own
> international airfare and domestic travel within China to Chengdu and
> approximately $150 US in total for entry fees to the cultural sites and
> temples.
>
> Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with admission generally
> determined within one or two weeks after submission of application.
> Applications will be accepted until the final deadline of May 1, 2011.
> However, as only 30 individuals (including both students and faculty) will
> be admitted to the 2011 program, applicants are encouraged to apply early
> in order to improve the likelihood of admission.
