> 3nd Annual Buddhism in China Program:
> 2011 Mount Emei and Buddhism in Sichuan
> 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.
