He moved to Taiwan in the year of 1949 to teach Buddhist scriptures and promote Buddhism, to advocate the concepts of Humanistic Buddhism in order to liberate human beings, and to get rid of ignorance and evil for purifying the minds of human beings. Master Hsing Yun established many cultural and educational institutions around Taiwan. A huge number of believers learn from him and admired him greatly. He established the temple Fo Guang Shan in Kaohsiung in 1967 and now its affiliated institutions are around the world, which achieves the ideal of that the Buddha's light shines on the three thousand realms and the stream of dharma flows through out the five continents, and realizes the purpose of advocating Buddhism and benefiting human beings.
