Around 1890, Buddhism began to be perceived in China as a "religion" that was necessary for the formation of a modern State, and its social position began to change in a major way. Many intellectuals with a revolutionary bent used Buddhism in their attempts to establish a modern State. At the same time, efforts were being made in the Buddhist world to be involved in social reform. In this article I will focus on these movements, how Buddhism was reassessed, and how Buddhism became actively involved in the transformation to a modern society. Specifically, I will examine the development of the concept of "religion." Next, I will look at the relationship between Buddhism and the establishment of self-reliant individuals that was necessary for realizing a modern State, the role of Buddhism in overcoming the international order that distinguished between "the civilized" and "the barbarian," and the relationship between Buddhism and the formation of nationalism at the end of the Qing period in China.
