碩士 === 佛光大學 === 佛教學系 === 101 === This thesis presents a comparative study between two social movements, the Humanistic Buddhism of Master Hsing Yun and the Engaged Buddhism of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Important points to highlight that, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Master Hsing Yun are those two well-known modern Buddhist social activists throughout the world, whose works and deeds are in great benefit of entire humanity all over the world. Although these two social movements are new but they traced back its origin to the time of the Lord Buddha, thus their social movements primarily focus on the basic Buddhist concepts and aim on removing all sort of social obstacles and provides a better human society to live, but differences are found in their monastic life and education, which further lead to difference in their mode of approach and involvement toward solving social issues. Indeed certain similarities and differences are there, but their main aim is to improve modern society no matter whether it charity works or spiritual teachings.
