October 10, 2021 was the 30^(th) anniversary of the death of Ouyang Wuwei (1913-1991), a Han monk from Jiangxi province, who spent a decade at Drepung Monastery to practice dharma. In the spring of 1951, he set off for India, later Hong Kong and finally Taipei, where he turned from working for the Chinese Intelligence Service in Tibet to burying himself in academic research and training monks for Tibetan Buddhism. After retiring from the Taiwan Academia Historica, he devoted himself to preparing qualified people for Tibetology. Nowadays in the field of Buddhist studies in Greater China, almost all active Taiwanese figures were his students. Therefore, he was honored by later generations as the Father of Tibetology in Taiwan. In 1970s, Liu Ruizhi, Li Jingang, Li Guanglian and others went to follow him out of admiration. After finishing their learning, Liu Ruizhi translated the Lamrim into Chinese and contributed to the rapid development of Nyingma sect and the great increase of its believers; Li Jingang brought the Buddhist culture with Chinese characteristics to Vietnam, becoming an icon in cultural communication; and Li Guanglian lived the rest of his life in Taiwan, spread Buddhist culture to the West, and independently translated the Tripitaka into Vietnamese. In the pursuit of Buddha dharma, they set sail with talent and attitude, floated to refuel with the help of Ouyang Wuwei, rode the waves with pioneering spirit, and finally hugged the shores of the world with Buddhist doctrines.
