As for Buddhist studies, "Most teachers in our Buddhist community feel meditation and chanting the name of the Buddha is the way to practice the rules, and writing, lecturing, and research are secondary," points out associate professor Yang Hui-nan of National Taiwan University. But scholarly studies are one aspect of activities for promoting the religion.
至於佛學的研究，「我們佛教界許多大師仍以為打坐、念佛才是修行，著書立說或做佛理研究是其次」，台大哲學系副教授楊惠南指出，佛學與佛教，雖說一是學術研究、一是信仰的事，但宗教的學術研究，是宗教推廣活動的一環。
