History

It was decided at the second World Buddhist Federation meeting 世界佛教聯合會 held at Lúshān 廬山 in July of 1924 that the following year the Japanese would host a similar conference in Tokyo. The Chinese delegation, headed by Tàixū 太虛 and Dàojiē 道階 left China on October 17 and returned on November 30.^[1] The delegation was greeted by many representatives of Japanese Buddhism, and toured Kyoto before arriving in Tokyo for the conference itself.
