Abstract:

Buddhism, which has the characteristics of humanism and a social-ministry spirit, has experienced social movements and the conflicts of democratic reform in Asian countries. It has developed its concept of human nature through the blending of constructive and critical orientations. The aims of this study were to research Buddhism in the contemporary societies of Asian countries (e.g., India, Tibet, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan), present two paradigms of concrete humanist practice, engage in a dialogue with Neo-Confucian concepts of democracy, and reexamine the problems of political violence within ideology through the Buddhist positions of rational self-criticism and self-reflection in communication. In addition to these areas, this article considers the lives of oppressed individuals in contemporary legal and political deviations from Buddhist and Confucian perspectives, and it examines the possibilities for such individuals to free themselves from these restrictions.

Keywords:Humanistic Buddhism, State of Exception, bare life, Neo-Confucianism, Engaged Buddhism
