This award supports cooperative research between Dr. Michael Saso of            the University of Hawaii, and Professor Lai Yonghai of Nanjing                  University on the sociological aspects of the restoration of                    religion in the People's Republic of China.  The research will                  involve a survey of selected major Buddhist and Taoist religious                centers to investigate the popular involvement in the restoration of            customary practice, and to collect and compare texts which document             the practices and theology of these two important religions.                                                                                                    The recent policy of freedom of religious practice in China has                 brought about a revival of Buddhist and Taoist studies, which have              again become accepted in China as part of university-sponsored                  research.  This collaborative research will provide an opportunity              to gain insight into a profound social process and into the                     evolution of the relationship between a socialist government and                religious structures.  This project is supported under the US/PRC               Protocol on Cooperation in Basic Sciences.
