The Harmonious Development Between Humanistic and Traditional Buddhism and its Issues
As is widely known, Humanistic Buddhism is a new movement of teaching, understanding, and practicing modern Han Chinese Buddhism. It has developed rapidly and gained broad support in Mainland China and Taiwan. It has been very successful in Taiwan and has far-reaching influence wherever Han Chinese Buddhism spread.

Such achievements have reinvigorated Buddhism and signal the arrival of a new era in the development of Buddhism.
