Hsianguang University Introduction
Hsiuan Chuang University, although the youngest university in the Hsinchu area, named after the religious master Xuanzang, does not have a heavy religious atmosphere in its campus, which is instead filled with greenery and vitality. The founder of Hsiuan Chuang University is Venerable Liaozhong, who upholds the philosophy of "promoting the spirit of Xuanzang through education and cultivating talents for the benefit of society through academics." The university was established in 1997 with the founding of the Hsiuan Chuang College of Humanities and Social Sciences and was elevated to university status in 2004. The most Buddhist atmosphere in the school can be found in the School History Museum, which displays historical artifacts from the founding of Xuanzang and enshrines the most precious "treasure of the school," the cranial relic of Master Xuanzang from the Tang Dynasty, a precious artifact unearthed in Nanjing in 1942.
