Description

Explore the significant impact of religion on the political landscape of modern Taiwan. In this study, Laliberte examines how major Buddhist organizations influence state affairs and social structures. The book provides a detailed survey of three influential groups: the Buddhist Association of the Republic of China (BAROC), the Buddha Light Mountain (Foguanshan) monastic order, and the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Association (Ciji). Readers gain insight into the different ways these organizations approach critical societal shifts. The text analyzes their responses to state supervision of religion, the landmark 1996 presidential election, and the creation of the National Health Insurance system. This work serves as an important resource for anyone interested in the history of Taiwan and the role of religious institutions in shaping modern governance and social welfare.
