Humanistic Buddhism’s study and practice is deep in sutra, society, the human world, and the Dharma Realm. Under the Bodhi tree, Buddha watched stars at night, and realized the cause and conditions of the world. The cause and conditions include the relationship between people, people and things, and people and materials. When living in the world, we must "develop broad and good affinity with others" and create "happiness and peace." Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity, are the four Immeasurable Minds. Venerable Master Hsing-Yun presented Four Givings from the four Immeasurable Minds, and provided the possibility of Dharma practice. Venerable Master Hsing-Yun has made the Working Creeds for Buddha’s Light Members based on the four Immeasurable Minds, "Give Others Faith" - Immeasurable Minds of Loving Kindness, " Give Others Hope " - Immeasurable Minds of Compassion, " Give Others Joy " - Immeasurable Minds of Joy, " Give Others Convenience " - Immeasurable Minds of Equanimity. Four givings and four Immeasurable Minds which cultivate Blessing, Virtue, and the Right Causes and Conditions, improve the friendly relationships between people and promote social harmony and stability. The Master’s "Four Givings" provide the core concept of " Humanistic Buddhism". "Four Givings " and Buddha’s Light Association working creeds make " Humanistic Buddhism " in practice. This thesis combines the studies of the Venerable Master Hsing-Yun, reference to the relevant literatures analysis, core teachings of Buddhism, "Four Givings": Loving Kindness-Compassion-Joy-Equanimity, and my observations. I integrate "Four Givings" and "Four Main Objectives" of Fo Guang Shan to illustrate the practice of Humanistic Buddhism. For example, why does the Master want to promote Million-Member Fundraising Campaign, the importance of Buddhism education and also some other relevant themes have been discussed. This thesis is devoted to give an integrated discussion of the Master’s " Humanistic Buddhism " and "Four Givings" and hopes to reveal the practice of Humanistic Buddhism.
