CUHK Research: Changing the world

Daoist studies Into the mind of the Daoist master CUHK’s mission to preserve Chinese culture and bridge East and West lies at the heart of its Department of Cultural and Religious Studies, where five research centres study world religions in Chinese and global contexts, past and present. Only Daoism is indigenous to China, where it has flourished for millennia among common folk. CUHK was the first university in Hong Kong to grasp that Daoism as a field of academic study is crucial to understanding Chinese people, their culture and spiritual world. Its Centre for Studies of Daoist Culture has no equal. Lai Chi-tim Professor in Daoist Studies 49
