This project explores the global spread of the two Taiwanese religious organizations Foguangshan (佛光山,
“Buddha’s Light Mountain”) and Yiguandao (一貫道, “Way of Pervading Unity”) by applying the theoretical
framework of transnational social spaces. Particularly since the gradual relaxation of political restraints in
1980s Taiwan, both religious organizations have started to spread their religious and cultural traditions on a
global scale. Their endeavours connect, cross, and inhabit countries affected by Chinese migration as well
as facilitate border-crossing spatial arrangements such as transnational communities (including Chinese
diaspora / Chinese cultural sphere / Buddhism).
