| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In FY 2016, we began to activate the project. First, we began to create a network by compiled the names of scholars working related areas whom we plan to engage, while Wank and Ashiwa visited with scholars in Chinese University of Hong Kong. Secondly, we made visits to possible field sites in Canada and Sri Lanka to visit temples and Buddhist academies with links to Nanputuo Temple and China and conducted preliminary fieldwork there. Thirdly, we made various presentation related to global studies, religion and immigration. Fourthly we published several articles related to the global studies, globalization, religion, and immigration, while Ashiwa and Wank worked on a book manuscript related to the topic

The time spent abroad for research was not as long as planned. Nevertheless, we were able to complete our research objectives for FY 2016

We plan to spend more time abroad this year in various parts of Asia and elsewhere. We also plan to invite at least one scholar to come to Japan to discuss our research with us. In addition Wank will be on sabbatical in the fall of 2017 and will spend much of that time abroad.
