State-sanctioned organisation in charge of Buddhists in China
The Buddhist Association of China (BCA, Chinese: 中国佛教协会) is the official government supervisory organ of Buddhism in the People's Republic of China. The association has been overseen by the United Front Work Department (UFWD) of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since the State Administration for Religious Affairs' absorption into the UFWD in 2018.[1] The association's headquarters are located in Guangji Temple in Beijing.
