As a long-standing academic journal, Eastern Buddhists has been committed to promoting the development of Buddhist academic research since its inception in 1921. It not only covers in-depth exploration of Buddhist philosophy, history, art, culture, and other aspects, but also provides readers with a platform to understand the diversity and complexity of Buddhism. One of the characteristics of this journal is the publication of English translations of classic Buddhist texts, which allows non-native readers to have a more direct exposure and understanding of the original Buddhist literature. The translation work not only includes ancient scriptures, but also English paraphrases of the works of modern Buddhist thinkers, thus building a bridge for cultural exchange between the East and the West.

In addition, the magazine encourages interdisciplinary research methods that combine Buddhist studies with other disciplines such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc., in order to examine the impact of Buddhism on modern society from different perspectives. Through this approach, the journal promotes the modern interpretation and application of Buddhist thought, giving it new vitality in contemporary society. Not only does it provide valuable research materials for the academic community, but it also provides an opportunity for ordinary readers to gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism. It is rich and diverse in content, reflecting the dissemination and influence of Buddhism on a global scale, and is an indispensable resource for researchers and enthusiasts to understand Buddhism.
