Working alongside the editorial team, they meticulously documented the visual and textual aspects of the Buddha Museum's ten-year journey. The museum remains committed to upholding Venerable Master Hsing Yun's five missions and four development goals in Arts and Culture, Motion Pictures, Humanistic Values, and Internationalization. Through its operations and dedication to sustainability, the Buddha Museum continues to thrive on this path.

The project's primary coordinator, Venerable Ru Chang, who serves as the Director of the Buddha Museum, along with Professor Chen Yuh-neu, Vice President of National Cheng Kung University, have assembled a team of five scholars and experts. Their collective research focuses on the profound teachings of Venerable Master Hsing Yun's Humanistic Buddhism and the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order. Through an exploration of historical records, they have compiled a comprehensive book that encompasses five key aspects: history, architecture, arts, museology, and cultural activities. Their goal is to offer a fresh perspective and develop public education programs and services that embody the spirit of Humanistic Buddhism. Ultimately, their efforts aim to establish a museum for the 21st century, reflecting the ever-relevant teachings and principles of Buddhism.
