Buddhist master Yin Shun dies at 100
Dharma Master Yin Shun (????), who is credited leading a renaissance in Chinese Buddhism, passed away in Hualian's (Taiwan) Tzu-Chi Hospital on Friday, aged 100.

Yin Shun was a mentor to Master Cheng Yen (????) the founder of the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu-Chi Foundation, and was honored by Tzu-Chi members as their "Shih Kung" (Teacher Patriarch).

He was a pioneer in developing the concept of "humanist Buddhism," the need for the monastic community to engage with the mundane world.

1. I guess, being Buddhist we should not mourn.
But I expect it's OK to wish him well on his journey.
