A Cooperation Agreement was signed between the parties on 27 August, 2021 to establish The Centre for Humanistic Buddhism, approved by Fo Guang Shan, and direct reports to the Provost of HUSHK. Venerable Yong Fu from Fo Guang Vihara, has assumed the co-chairman of the Management Committee of the Centre. The management team comprises representatives of each college of HSUHK.
