In 2014, Dharma Drum Mountain has made significant advances in its Three-fold Education endeavor: the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts was established; the Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhist Association was granted consultative status by the UN; and the abbot president Ven. Guo Dong received an honorary PhD. from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. Also, its monasteries and practice centers home and abroad have further integrated practice with education, and science with humanities, continuing to spread the dew of the Dharma to purify the human mind and society, thereby creating new prospects.
