Abstract
During the time that I was engaged in researching my dissertation on Buddhism in Taiwan, I spent a large amount of my time trying to assess the precise role of the Buddhist Association of the Republic of China (hereafter BAROC) in the life of Buddhism on the island. Before the passage of the Revised Law on the Organization of Civic Groups in 1989 made it possible for other groups to arise and compete with the BAROC, this organization was the sole recognized nationwide body of Buddhists in the ROC.1 On the face of it, this would appear to give the BAROC a great deal of significance as the only agency empowered to represent Buddhism to the national government and to protect its interests.
