Nanjing (and Wuchang)
Nanjing (in Jiangsu) and Wuchang (now part of Wuhan in Hubei), China, were centres of the modernising Buddhist reform led by the monk Taixu in the early twentieth century. Taixu founded the Wuchang Buddhist Institute in 1922 to train monks for his programme of 'humanistic Buddhism.'
