| Abstract | The paper is based on a case study of the propagation and dissemination of Master Sheng Yen
and Dharma Drum Mountain founded in Malaysia to embark the research on the
development of “Chinese” Buddhism in Southeast Asia region, with a hope of contributing in
the studies of the history of contemporary dissemination of “Chinese” Buddhism and
overseas Chinese’ belief. In this paper, the methods of data collecting and cataloging as well
as fieldwork interviews and questionnaire survey would be applied from the perspectives of
Buddhist studies. First, this paper will discuss “how Master Sheng Yen goes to Malaysia”
which includes three sections: written propagation and dissemination, overseas immersion
of devout good men and good women, and his dharma talks and ceremonies of taking a
refuge. Then, a brief account of “the establishment of Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhism
Information Center in Malaysia” which includes three sections: the footprint of early
founding, the current stage of stabilizing, and the conduct of activities. Thirdly, “the local
influence of Master Sheng Yen on Malaysian devotees” will be discussed. Questionnaire
survey with activity participants or members to discover what Master Sheng Yen has
influenced them and how their life as well as the life of oneself has been affected after
becoming a devotee of Dharma Drum Mountain. Finally, a discussion on “Buddhist
localization thinking” and a tentative discourse on encountering modernity and
globalization are in order.
