In the late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China,The development of Buddhism was also plunged into a crisis due to the turmoil of The Times and the national crisis,together with the various maladies accumulated in Buddhism for a long time.After the enlightenment of the revival of Buddhism by Yang Wenhui and the advocacy of "Humanistic Buddhism" by master Taixu.On the basis of summing up the experience and lessons of predecessors and combining with his own thinking on the reform of Buddhism,master Juzan Put forward "New Buddhism Movement" thought viewpoint,and put it into practice,and achieved the combination of theory and practice,and finally pushed the cause of Buddhist reform to a new stage,pointing out the direction for the development of the reform of Buddhism.This thesis will elaborate from the following four aspects:First,the historical background of the "New Buddhism Movement" of master Juzan.This paper discusses the external social background of Buddhism,the internal development background,the enlightenment of Yang Wenhui and the "Humanistic Buddhism" proposed by Taixu.In the context of the time,Faced with the competition of Christianity,the usurpation of temple property,the questioning of Buddhism in other countries and the use of Buddhism in China during the Japanese invasion,The development of Buddhism faces great challenges.At the same time,in the long-term development process of Buddhism in China,many internal problems did arise,including the problem of system chaos,The neglect of catechetical doctrine,the problem of private temple property,the problem of Negative laziness,etc.Faced with great changes in the social environment,the pressure from both internal and external aspects makes it necessary to make positive changes if Buddhism is to continue to develop.The reform of Buddhism in modern times starts from Mr.Yang Wenhui.Through his efforts,many eminent monks and insightful people have reached a consensus on the reform of Buddhism.After the enlightenment of Mr.Yang Wenhui,the "Humanistic Buddhism" advocated by master Taixu proposed some concrete measures for the reform of Buddhism and pointed out the general direction for the development of the reform of Buddhism.It was against this background that master Juzan proposed his "new Buddhism Movement".He focused on the interpretation of the Buddhist doctrine,on how the Buddhist reformation could truly fit into the Buddha’s true spirit,and he emphasized the combination of practice and theory,which made a concrete historical contribution to the development of Buddhism.The second is the theoretical connotation of Buddhism of "New Buddhist Movement",through the analysis of the Buddhist classical principles,he provides theoretical support for his "New Buddhism Movement" thoughts,including the knowledge about Longshu and Wuzhu,The world and the world,Mahayana Bodhisattva,etc.Juzan believes that Chinese Buddhism inherits the tradition of Longshu and Wuzhu,or Mahayana Buddhism,and that the reform and development of Buddhism should adhere to this traditional basis and elucidate the true spirit of Buddhism.Buddhism is all about getting rid of troubles and achieving nirvana,but nirvana must be found in the world.In the past,Chinese Buddhism was mixed with many thoughts of withdrawal,which led to an inaccurate understanding of the meaning.The reform of Buddhism should grasp the relationship between the world and the world.The dharma master believes that Chinese Buddhism has practiced the tradition of Mahayana Bodhisattva,and that the reform and development of Buddhism should adhere to the practice of Mahayana Bodhisattva,and go deep into the real life and the people.The third is the basic proposition of the "New Buddhist Movement",Including patriotism,religious system reform,theoretical reform,industrial production.In a certain historical period,master Juzan believes that the reform of Buddhism must adhere to the tradition of Buddhist patriotism,which is the foundation of the development of Buddhism.As for the problems in Buddhism,master Juzan put forward the slogans of "The production" and "academic",and gave specific solutions or solutions from the aspects of teaching system,catechism and temple production.The fourth is the historical influence and future enlightenment of "New Buddhist Movement".In a special historical period,with a high sense of responsibility and mission to love the country and the religion,he made important historical contributions to the development of Buddhism with his own efforts.Of course,as the social background is changing all the time,the development of Buddhism is also a continuous process.Although the social environment is different now,However,the "New Buddhism Movement" of master Juzan is a valuable spiritual wealth for the solution of various problems and the specific reform thoughts,which can still provide a lot of reference value for the development of Buddhism at present.
