Fafang \u6cd5\u822b (1904\u20131951) was a prominent scholar-monk who made great contributions to China\u2019s Buddhist reform during the first half of the twentieth century. He inherited and further developed the concept of \u201cHumanistic Buddhism\u201d (renjian fojiao \u4eba\u9593\u4f5b\u6559), which is often associated with the reformist vision of his teacher Taixu \u592a\u865b (1890\u20131947), offering a systematic and philosophically rich interpretation that has not received sufficient scholarly attention, particularly in English-language scholarship. Situating Fafang\u2019s thought within the broader context of modern China, this talk introduces his conception of Humanistic Buddhism, including its definition and historical foundations, as well as his articulation of the reasons for its establishment, its significance, and the approaches he proposed for its realisation. By foregrounding Fafang\u2019s contributions, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of the diversity and complexity of Humanistic Buddhism in the twentieth century.<\/p>","remarks":"
