There’re two points meriting special attention in Zhao Puchu’s thought of Humanistic Buddhism,one is that he referred to Buddhist classics from India and China,which provides the theoretical basis for the rationality of Humanistic Buddhism,and the other is that he advocated thought of Humanistic Buddhism in order to better shoulder the World Mission in new historical period.Humanistic Buddhism is still kind of Buddhist doctrines,not a world learning.Life consciousness and wisdom liberation are forever basic aims of Buddhism.Therefore,Humanistic Buddhism is not only "the World" without Buddhism,which only emphasizes that Buddhist doctrines are in the world.Buddhism goes into the world and shoulder the World Mission,while its inside-world aspects should not cover the religiosity and holiness of its outside-world nature.At the same time,as a religion,Buddhism is kind of spiritual cultural sources,which can provide nourishment for people’s spiritual world.Nowadays,Buddhist culture develops very prosperously in China,reviewing Zhao Puchu’s thought of Humanistic Buddhism has important theoretical and realistic significance in leading Buddhism to adapt socialist society and making full use of the positive aspects of Buddhist spiritual sources.
