ABSTRACT:

Humanistic Buddhism emphasizes that Buddhism should be integrated into daily life. Meditation as a practical method can help practitioners cultivate inner peace, wisdom and compassion to better serve others. Through meditation, breathing and mindfulness practices, Zen practice can help people reduce anxiety and stress and improve their ability to manage emotions. Master Hsing Yun emphasized that Zen is the core of humanistic Buddhism. The so-called Humanistic Buddhism refers to the close integration of Buddhist teachings and practices with human daily life, making it an effective way to solve practical problems and improve the quality of life. Meditation is closely related to physical, mental and spiritual health. Through meditation, we can achieve harmony and health of body and mind, improve mental health and spiritual growth. In modern society, we should actively learn and practice meditation as a way of life and spiritual pursuit to achieve a higher level of life value and meaning.
