T'ung-shan She ( Chinese  同 善 社 ), also Shengdao , is a religious group that belongs to Xiantiandao . Xiantiandao is a syncretistic group that strives to unite Daoism , Confucianism , Buddhism and other religions. Today, a small number of the Buddha Halls ( fo-t'ang ) of T'ung-shan She are active in Taiwan , Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia .

There may be no study on the current situation of T'ung-shan Shes. Regional hierarchies seem to exist. The Southeast Asian General Association of Wise Religion , based in Singapore , likely directs the T'ung-shan She Buddha Halls in Singapore and Malaysia . The current situation is unclear.

history

T'ung-shan She was founded in 1912 by P'eng Hui-lung (彭 回籠) / Peng Ru-Zun (彭 汝 尊) (1873 - 1950?) From Sichuan . In 1917 the organization relocated to Beijing and was registered with the city council. T'ung-shan She made connections with the traditional elite. The organization's branches quickly spread across China. In 1920 a second center (He-i Hui) was created in Hankou . T'ung-shan She has been officially banned in the People's Republic of China since the beginning of the communist government. Many of the followers were severely persecuted. The first Taiwanese Buddha Hall was founded in 1947. In 1949, the Chinese Association for Confucian Studies ( Chung-kuo K'ung-hsueh Hui ) was founded. This first Bhuddahalle is called the Provincial Society (sheng-she). In 1978 there was a spin-off.
