Since the introduction of hospice palliative care into Taiwan in 1983 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9322344  ), Taiwan first enacted a natural death act, Hospice Palliative Care Act (https://bioaccent.org/palliative-medicine/palliative-medicine09.pdf ) to give people to have the right of choosing do-no-ressucination (DNR) in 2000. In 2016, Patient Self-Determination Act (file:///C:/Users/DD/Downloads/JSD17002.pdf  ) was legalized to progress from DNR to advance care planning (ACP).  As the president of the Buddhist Lotus Hospice Care Foundation (LHCF) (http://www.lotus.org.tw ) and vice-director of the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and founder of the Hospice Palliative Unit of NTUH, I had the chance of starting the Clinical Buddhist Chaplaincy (CBC) training program (http://bioaccent.org/palliative-medicine/palliative-medicine19.pdf ) in these two organizations in 1998. The International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB) held its 18th Biennial Conference 2017 in Taiwan in Nov. 22-29, 2017 ( https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/international-network-of-engaged-buddhists-focuses-on-conflict-compassion-and-interbeing-at-18th-biennial-conference-in-taiwan ) under the theme “A Conference on Interbeing: Transforming Conflict by Compassion,” aiming to provide platform for broad-based dialogue and cooperation to address the challenges facing engaged Buddhism over the next decade. It was attended by more than 180 monks, nuns and scholars from 23 nations. On Nov. 22, a Symposium on Buddhist Approaches to Dying and Hospice Care in Taiwan (http://inebnetwork.org/30513-2/ ) was held at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (http://www.dila.edu.tw/en ). I gave a brief introduction of “The beginning of Buddhist hospice care in Taiwan”( https://goo.gl/XSJafB ). I invited the first two mentors, Ven. Huimin, Prof. Ching-Yu Chen, and the current leaders in CBC training program, Ven. TsungTueng and Ven. Frances Lok to make introduction of their works. Ven. Huimin (President of Dharma Drum Institute for Liberal Arts) talked on “Creating an indigenous Buddhist model for end of life care”. Prof. ChingYu Chen (professor of Family Medicine, NTUH) talked on  “spiritual issues of Buddhist hospice care in Taiwan”. Ven. Tsung-Tueng (director of the Great Compassion Institute) talked on “community hospice care & Buddhist monastics”. Ven. Frances Lok talked on “training of Buddhist monastics in hospice care”. Since the CBC training program was the first in the history of Buddhism and hospice palliative care, this

Symposium roused great interest among the international audience. This CBC training program was introduced into Japan by Japan Zenseiky Organization in 2013 http://www.e-discoverypublication.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/JSD17005.pdf ). We hope it will further spread to other nations in the future, especially in those nations with great portion of Buddhists in their population.
