Humanistic Buddhism

Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927~)

English translation: Ven. Miao Guang

Humanistic Buddhism is what is taught by the Buddha himself, what is needed by human beings, what is pure, and what is virtuous and beautiful.

All teachings that promote

the happiness of humanity

are the essence of Humanistic Buddhism.

── from Renjian Fojiao Yulu(Record of Teachings on Humanistic Buddhism)

文／唐．惠能（638～713）

佛法在世間，不離世間覺，

離世覓菩提，恰如求兔角。

──選自《六祖壇經》

Huineng (638 - 713, Tang Dynasty)

English translation: Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center

The Dharma is within the world,

Apart from this world there is no awakening.

Seeking bodhi apart from the world

Is like looking for a rabbit’s horn.

── from Sixth Patriarch's Platform Sutra
