摘要
Humanistic Buddhism has arisen in modern times with the goal of liberating humans and society. However，many of the conditions that led to the rise of Humanistic Buddhism are part of modern secular reforms and have also helped to liberate Buddhism from some forms of political and cultural captivity. In particular，this article explores the rote of five factors as necessary conditions for Humanistic Buddhism—an independent judiciary providing some protection from the state，a humanistic enlightenment movement that encourages independent intellectual inquiry，a modern communication systems to support individual developments, relative peace，and a global economy. These have enabled new models, networks, and groups of Buddhists to emerge and to become society engaged in new ways. Humanistic Buddhism may be working to liberate society，but a byproduct has been a transformation and liberation of Buddhism as well as the improvement of society. In this way，it is perhaps a new illustration of the maxim that "benefiting others benefits oneself." 當代出現的人間佛教旨在使人類社會得到解放. 但導致人問佛教'出現的很多條件確部分地與現代世學有關，並且幫助佛教擺脫某些政治和文化方面的桎梏. 本文探討了人間佛教的五個必要條件，由國家提供保護的獨立司法機構，一個鼓勵獨立思想探索的人類覺醒運動，一個支持個人發展的現代交流系統，相對的和平局面，全球經濟. 這些史佛教的新的模式. 新的網路. 新的團體不斷出現，以新的形式參與社會活動，人間佛教可以用於拯救社會，然而其副產品能改造佛教，解除對佛教的束縛，並改善社會. 這樣， 有可能出現一種對 "自利利他"格言新的詮釋.
