Since then, 50 years have elapsed with nine terms of Executive Committee. In the past 50 years it has been carrying out its objectives to lead the world Buddhist sangha in dharmaduta activities to serve humankind and the world.   In 1981, the third general conference took place in Taipei, Taiwan. Most Ven. Pai Sheng was elected as the president, and the headquarters was moved to Taipei until now. Most Ven. Liao Chung is the incumbent president.
