After more than ten years of running a school, the school philosophy of "learning as the foundation, learning as the core and art as the feature" has been clarified. Through exploration and practice, a unique school-running model has been formed. We have trained a group of modern monks who love their country, love teaching, pay equal attention to learning and revision, have a high sense of historical mission and social responsibility, and can adapt to the globalization and diversification of management, teaching and scientific research.
So far, more than 200 monks have graduated, including more than 30 graduate students and 5 international students. These graduates have become a new force in Buddhism. Many of them have held leadership positions in the local Buddhist community, and many have held important positions and become the backbone of their temples.
At present, Hangzhou Buddhist College has two secondary colleges and research institutes, namely, Teaching Department and Art College, which carry out undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Four years as an undergraduate and three years as a graduate. With more than 200 monks and faculty members, it is a veritable modern comprehensive Buddhist college. There are 15 magicians in our hospital. Most magicians have many years of teaching experience, accumulated rich teaching experience and have certain research ability. Each department has 4 non-professional teachers and 9 staff members. There are more than 20 external teachers, mainly from Zhejiang University, China Academy of Fine Arts, Zhejiang Gongshang University and Zhejiang Academy of Social Sciences.
The curriculum system of the Institute of Education is comprehensive, and monks can have a framework understanding of the Buddhist foundation and various sectarian theories through four years of study. There are China Buddhist history, Indian Buddhist history, precepts, middle school, knowledge-only, Tiantai, Huayan, Zen, Pure Land, Buddhism, politics and other courses. At the same time, in order to enrich students' knowledge and improve their quality, auxiliary courses such as ancient Chinese, history of Chinese and Western philosophy, general psychology, sociology of religion, formal logic, history of science and technology, and English are also offered.
The College of Art focuses on artistic creation such as Buddhist painting, calligraphy and sculpture, and cooperates with courses such as Buddhist theory and traditional culture. Featuring subject teaching, a complete teaching system combining tradition and modernity is constructed. There are three professional directions: figure painting in China, landscape painting in China and flower-and-bird painting in China. Strong teaching staff, reasonable subject setting and complete teaching environment and facilities. Its teaching, creation, research direction and exploration results are forward-looking and exemplary in China's Buddhist circles.
This institute undertakes the tasks of postgraduate teaching and academic research in our college. At present, there are two laboratories: Awakening Laboratory and Japanese Buddhism Laboratory. In the academic field, since 2002, our college has held an annual "wuyue Buddhist Seminar". Up to now, five collections of Buddhist works in wuyue have been published, and "International Academic Conference on Buddhism" and "Seminar on Consciousness-only Studies" have also been held. Our college also sponsors academic journals, such as "Perception Research" and "Yin Ming". At the same time, a certain number of books and papers are published by teachers and students in our college every year.
In terms of foreign exchange, our institute has conducted many friendly visits and exchanges with Japanese, Korean, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asian countries, and maintained a profound friendship. For a long time, Hangzhou Buddhist College has played its own advantages and made due contributions to maintaining world harmony, promoting peaceful reunification across the Taiwan Strait, and safeguarding the territorial integrity and national unity of the motherland.
In terms of hardware, with the concern and great attention of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the Hangzhou Buddhist Association has built a new campus, surrounded by mountains and with beautiful scenery. Planning and preparation began in 2007, and the first phase of the project was completed on 20 10, which has been put into use. The new campus covers an area of more than 200 mu, with a building area of more than 9,300 square meters, with an investment of more than 50 million yuan. The overall design is the cross shape used by the Nazi Party. The swastika used by the Nazi Party is an auspicious pattern of Buddhism. It is called auspicious sea clouds, also known as auspicious happiness. It shows that the Buddha will spare no effort to help countless sentient beings in the future with infinite wisdom and compassion. The design of the new campus cultivates the spirit and character of teachers and students with its unique connotation and charm.
Keeping pace with the times is the key to the survival and development of the college. Hangzhou Buddhist College will, under the leadership of its superiors, make full use of good school conditions, with the support and help of colleagues from all walks of life, face the trend of globalization and diversification, seize opportunities and meet challenges, and turn Hangzhou Buddhist College into a comprehensive Buddhist college integrating Sangha education, art education, lectures, academic research, short-term training and foreign exchange, thus making contributions to the healthy development of Buddhism in China.

Under the guidance of adhering to the basic principle of cultivating high-quality talents for Buddhism, we strive to enrich the teaching concept in an all-round way and combine tradition with modernity.

The teaching department of Hangzhou Buddhist College pays attention to cultivating monks' religious feelings and qualities, and demands that "the life of the college is a jungle". At the same time of daily teaching, we should not relax the guidance and requirements for students' religious practice and life, but insist on going to the temple, attending classes, praising precepts, being prepared for danger in times of peace and meditation.
The School of Education of Hangzhou Buddhist College attaches importance to academic research and academic exchanges. Within the college, in order to improve the academic level and form a good learning and research atmosphere, the academic reward mechanism is implemented for teachers and students, and teachers and students are encouraged to write and publish papers and works.
