AbstractThis paper is intended as an overview of the development and current situation of Chinese Buddhism in Taiwan. The first part will outline the historical background. In the second part we will take a closer look at the religious situation in Taiwan during the nineties, especially the characteristics and the impact of the so-called “Four big mountains” as well as some peculiarities in the structure of the Taiwanese Sangha. The aim of the third part is to highlight a few important aspects of Taiwanese Buddhism and Buddhist studies. On the doctrinal level there is the transition from the “reformer monk” Taixu to his student Yinshun. This is in many ways connected to the growth of Buddhist studies on the island. Finally, the CBETA-project serves as an example for the many editorial activities in the Buddhist world on the island. With the help of these examples we will see how Chinese Buddhism, a tradition that has taken many blows during the past century, is currently rebuild and redefined in Taiwan.
