Society of Chinese Buddhists
The Society of Chinese Buddhists was a Buddhist organization based in Peiping (present-day Beijing) active in the 1930s. It published the Buddhist Scripture Series, of which Liebenthal's translation of the Sutra of the Lord of Healing (1936) was No. 1, edited by Chou Su-chia. The society operated during a period of significant Buddhist revival and reform in Republican China, when, as one encyclopedia notes, dozens of urban lay Buddhist societies developed in the 1930s concerned with education, social welfare, and devotion. The society does not appear to have survived the upheavals of World War II and the subsequent Communist takeover in 1949, after which Buddhist organizations were consolidated under state control. No website or successor organization is known. (Source: Claude.ai)
