Humanistic Buddhism: Noble Eightfold Path and Eight Pagodas

: Master Hsing Yun advocated Humanistic Buddhism in the hope that people can apply Buddhist teachings and practice methods in real life to solve various problems in real life. The concepts of Humanistic Buddhism are embodied in the Eight Paths Pagoda of the Buddha Memorial Hall in Taiwan. The eight pagodas of the Buddha Memorial Hall in Fo Guang Shan, Taiwan are named: (1) One Teaching, (2) Two Assemblies, (3) Three Goodness, (4) Four Givings, (5) Five Harmonies, (6) Six Perfections, (7) Seven Admonishment, and (8) Eightfold Path. However, the Eight Towers in Mahaparinirvana Temple, India have different meanings. Firstly, the Tower of Birth symbolizes the birth of the Buddha. Secondly, the Bodhi Tower represents the time when the Buddha became enlightened. Thirdly, the Tower of the Wheel of Dharma indicates the time when the Buddha taught the Dharma. Fourthly, the tower of Sangha Vini stands for the time when the Buddha taught the Dharma. Fifthly, the Tower of Relics signifies the Nirvana of the Buddha. Sixthly, the Tower of Turning the Wheel of Dharma symbolizes the time when the Buddha turned the wheel of Dharma for the first time. Seventhly, the tower of the second turning of the Dharma wheel denotes the time when the Buddha turned the Dharma wheel for the second time.

III. TWO ASSEMBLIES' PAGODA Traditional Buddhist monks and believers have different roles and responsibilities in promoting the Dharma. As Buddhist monks, monks usually receive special training and precepts, the purpose of which is to better understand and practice Buddhism, and to be able to pass on Buddhism to believers. Monks play an important role in propagating the Dharma. They teach the Dharma through lectures, lectures, meditation, etc., and demonstrate the practice of Dharma by setting an example, becoming a role model for believers. Devotees, on the other hand, are followers and learners of Buddhism. They usually learn Buddhism through meditation, reading classics, listening to French, etc., and integrate the spirit of Buddhism into their lives to enhance their wisdom and compassion. The role of believers in promoting Buddhism is to actively learn and practice Buddhism, and to demonstrate the value and spirit of Buddhism through their words and deeds.
The reason why Humanistic Buddhism emphasizes the equality between monks and believers can be found in the core teachings of Buddhism. Buddhism maintains that all sentient beings have Buddha nature, that is, everyone has the potential to become a Buddha, regardless of differences in origin, social status, wealth, gender, etc. In Buddhism, monks and lay people are fellow practitioners who seek to become a Buddha in practice. Monks are not a privileged class, but a way of life that chooses to put aside secular life and devotes itself to practice. In this way of life, monks need to obey the precepts, practice, and explore the spiritual practice of Buddhism, and they can also provide Buddhist teachings, support and help for lay people. On the other hand, Humanistic Buddhism emphasizes the spirit of "compassion and equality" and encourages people to show compassion and equality to all sentient beings, regardless of whether they have beliefs or not, different religious beliefs, different races, cultures and nationalities, etc. wait. Therefore, Buddhism emphasizes the equality of monks and lay people, and the relationship between monks and lay people is a relationship of mutual support, mutual learning and mutual achievement. This relationship of equality and mutual respect also reflects the spirit of "selflessness", "dependent origination" and "middle way" emphasized in Buddhist teachings, and embodies the core values of Buddhism.
Fo Guang Shan and International Fo Guang Association are two independent organizations, but there is a close connection and relationship between them. Founded by Master Hsing Yun in 1967, Fo Guang Shan is based on meditation, precepts, and Bodhisattva behavior, emphasizing the practice of Buddhism, exerting wisdom, and integrating the concepts of modern society and Humanistic Buddhism. International Buddhist Light Association is a religious organization established by Master Hsing Yun in Taiwan in 1991, with the aim of promoting Buddhist education and culture, and promoting the spirit of compassion, wisdom and equality. Buddha's Light International has various activities and institutions aimed at integrating Humanistic Buddhist thought and practice into modern society. Although Fo Guang Shan and the International Fo Guang Association are independent organizations, there is a close relationship between the two. The headquarters of the International Buddha Light Association is located near Fo Guang Shan, and the monks of Fo Guang Shan and the followers of the International Buddha Light Association also participate in various activities and affairs. In addition, Fo Guang Shan's religious and cultural activities are often supported and assisted by the International Fo Guang Association.

These six virtues are also the basic guidelines that Buddhists should practice in their daily lives, and are considered to be the basic conditions for meeting the teaching requirements. In Buddhism, "samsara" is a very important concept, meaning "samsara of life and death", that is, the constant repetition of the cycle of human life. Buddhism believes that the cycle of human life is endless. Everyone will experience the process of birth, aging, illness, and death, and then repeat the process of birth, growth, aging, and death. This cycle continues to IJMRA, Volume 6 Issue 5 May 2023 www.ijmra.in Page 2015 tolerance. The above methods can help us achieve the "right work" in the "eightfold path", promote inner peace and moral improvement. In Buddhism, "Right Effort" usually refers to the pursuit of goals and the achievement of goals through hard work, concentration and willpower. Identify what you want to achieve and write them down.

In the face of these challenges, you need to maintain perseverance and endurance, and don't give up easily. Focus on your goals and focus all your energy on the task you are trying to achieve.

Seek support and encouragement from friends, family or colleagues who can provide you with positive feedback and support. Motivate yourself through some methods, such as setting a small goal for yourself and achieving it, rewarding yourself, and so on. Through the above methods, you can better realize the "Right Effort" in the "Eightfold Path" and keep moving towards a higher goal. In Buddhism, developing mindfulness is an important practice. Focus on what is happening at the moment, such as breathing, walking, eating, etc., to avoid wandering thoughts. Observe things around you, including your own emotions and feelings, without evaluating or commenting, just observe and recognize. Do not reject, avoid or evaluate any experience, including negative emotions and feelings, but face it with an attitude of acceptance and observation. Do not comment or criticize yourself or others, just accept the experience of the moment. Observe the change and impermanence of things without being attached to any experience or feeling. Have compassion and empathy for yourself and others, understanding that all sentient beings are suffering. Maintain balance and moderation in life, and don't be overly attached or indulgent. Through the above methods, you can cultivate mindfulness, make yourself more aware in your daily life, and be able to face various challenges in life with correct attitudes and actions.
"Right Concentration" in the Noble Eightfold Path, usually interpreted as correct meditation and concentration, refers to calming the mind through concentration meditation to achieve a state of inner peace and tranquility. Make meditation a part of your life by establishing a daily meditation practice plan, and spend a few minutes or more in meditation each day. Choose a quiet and comfortable place to meditate and make sure you won't be distracted. Sit in a stable position and use a cushion or seat cushion to help keep you comfortable. Focus on your breath. Make your breath your focus, paying attention to how each breath feels. When your thoughts start wandering, slowly bring them back to your breath. Turn your attention to the physical sensations. Begin with the feet and gradually move to the rest of the body, noticing how each part feels and feels. This will help reduce stress and tension and enhance your body's perceptions. Practice mindfulness to stay focused and aware of the present moment. Don't get obsessed with thoughts about the past or the future, but focus on the feelings and experiences of the present moment. Practicing loving kindness and compassion, which develops caring and compassion for yourself and others, helps to dispel negative emotions and emotions and enhance inner peace. The above are some suggestions for achieving "right concentration", but it should be noted that everyone's experience and feelings are different, so constant practice and adjustment are required. Through practice and self-reflection, you can gradually develop and strengthen right concentration.
In the Noble Eightfold Path, Right Liberation refers to liberation from suffering and afflictions, reaching a state beyond birth and death and samsara. Achieving true liberation requires long-term practice and inner awareness. Learning Buddhism can help us understand the nature of suffering and the true meaning of life and understand the purpose and meaning of life. Buddhism also provides a complete set of practice methods, which can help us realize the right liberation. Contemplating the Three Dharma Seals means observing impermanence, selflessness and suffering, and realizing that everything in life is transient and impermanent, there is no eternal self-existence, and pain is the normal state of life. Through a deep understanding of the Three Dharma Seals, it can help us transcend our attachment and stubbornness to life and achieve positive liberation. Meditation is a practice method of concentration, which can help us observe our inner thoughts and feelings and realize them. Meditation helps to calm the mind, making it easier for us to enter the depths of our hearts and realize the nature of our hearts. Abandonment refers to abandoning the attachment and love for the external world, so as to focus more on inner cultivation and improvement. By letting go of our attachment to material things, we can more easily focus our minds and achieve positive liberation.

X. CONCLUSIONS
One Teaching Pagoda is "Humanistic Buddhism", which is "the teaching method taught by the Buddha, what people want, purifying, good and beautiful, and conducive to the promotion of a happy life."
