| Research Abstract |
This research focuses on the process of Buddhism being regarded as a historical or traditional culture in Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. It examines the Chinese Buddhists' influence in Taiwan and significant occurrences caused by Taiwanese inhabitants. I analyze how the inhabitants interpreted those occurrences and made them a part of their own history and traditions. “History" and “tradition" have been constructed and given meaning in Taiwan under the influence of both Japan and China. I maintain that Taiwanese inhabitants developed Buddhism into one of their vital cultural resources.
