Today, Buddhism in Taiwan is a worldly engaging practice that focuses on Humanistic Buddhism and is actively involved in society. However, as early as the eighth century, the Buddhist Indian master Haribhadra had already proposed a similar concept of Humanistic Buddhism in his interpretation of bodhisattva's the nirodha-āryasatya in the Aṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitā-sutra the Bodhisattva practicing without entering Nirvana, knowing emptiness but not realizing it, and wishing to reincarnate for all sentient beings in all lifetimes. On the other hand, Master Hsing Yun is an exemplary example of how Humanistic Buddhism is practiced in the real world and in everyday life. Under the leadership of Master Hsing Yun, Buddhism has become the mainstream development of contemporary Chinese Buddhism, and under his leadership, Fo Guang Shan has spread Buddhism to the five Continents, bringing Buddhism closer to people and putting it into practice. Therefore, in this paper, I would like to compare the Humanistic Buddhism of Master Hsing Yun with haribhadra's nirodha-āryasatya, in order to illustrate the commonalities in the transmission of Buddhist teachings in different times. Although there is a time difference between Master Hsing Yun and Haribhadra, there is still a commonality in the transmission of Buddhism, and we can see that the Humanistic Buddhism of Master Hsing Yun has made a great contribution to the transmission of Buddhism.
