Research Branding Project for Private Universities

Creation of an International Buddhist Research Network and the Promotion of “Human Studies” based on Buddhism

The excessive rationalization of modern society has resulted in the “sense of meaninglessness.” Critical attempts to reexamine the early modern and modern ages have already been made. However, it is becoming increasingly urgent to find solutions to fundamental problems concerning the environment, human rights and bioethics. Buddhism has the potential to provide solutions to these important problems. In this project, we will create an international research center based on Buddhism and promote “human studies” unique to our university. We will unfold a strategic branding project to make the world recognize once again the importance of Buddhist studies.
