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. Tsung -Tueng 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.
