“Humanistic Buddhism” as a fixed word is created by Tai Xu the modern Buddhism reformer in the 1930s and then this idea was spread widely by his disciples. Tai Xu preferred “Life Buddhism” in his early years though the “Life Buddhism” used as usually as “Humanistic Buddhism” in his books. The general meanings of “Life Buddhism” or “Humanistic Buddhism” are aimed at making the Buddhism and the modern civilization mutual adjustment, in view of the traditional spirits of “disenchantment” of religion of gods and ghosts, make it turned to focus on responsibility of the salvation. After the death of Tai Xu, “Humanistic Buddhism” was carry forward by Yin Shun whose theory was more rigorous, national and precise. The same points between Tai Xu and Yin Shun are the purpose of Bodhisattva activities of the world. However, the differences of their thoughts are Tai Xu was apt at mixing the theory and reality which the Yin Shun preferred returning the origin of Buddhism. Specifically, Yin Shun transcended the value rationality of social life issues that Tai Xu advocated, he focused on the methodology of instrument rationality and epistemology of history rationality.
