Abstract:"Humanism" and “Humanistic" are terms that take on considerable importance in the Buddhism of Venerable Master Hsing Yun. On the one hand, the terms are pointers to the essential teachings of the Buddha. The employment of such terms, however, imply that certain teachings and practices within Chinese Buddhism in particular caused it to deviate from the original intent of the Buddha.
