Humanistic Buddhism Wikipedia

Humanistic Buddhism (zh-cp|c=????????????|p=R??nji??n F??ji??o) is a popular philosophy practiced mainly in Chinese Mahayana Buddhism. It is the integration of people's spiritual practice into all aspects of their daily lives. Buddhists monastics such as Venerable Masters Yin Shun and Hsing Yun helped to start the propogation of Humanistic Buddhism.

Humanistic Buddhism encompasses all of the Buddhist teachings from the time of the Buddha to the present. The goal of Humanistic Buddhism is the bodhisattva way, which means to be an energetic, enlightened, and endearing person who strives to help all sentient beings liberate themselves.

Humanistic Buddhism focuses more on issues of the world rather than on how to leave the world behind; on caring for the living, rather than the dead; on benefiting others, rather than benefiting oneself and on universal salvation, rather than cultivation for only oneself.
