Venerable Master Hsing Yun, founder of the Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA), once shared that the Buddhist Exam has many meaningful benefits. It encourages a love of learning, helps purify the mind, promotes moral values, and plays a powerful role in spreading the teachings of Buddhism.

The 2026 Global Buddhist Exam is hosted by the BLIA Dharma and Teacher Fellowship Committee, with support from BLIA Chung Hua, BLIA North America, and BLIA Malaysia.  The exam is a chance for BLIA members everywhere to deepen their faith, build right understanding, and bring Buddhist practice into their daily lives.
