Modern Buddhism encompasses a modern approach to a wide number of Buddhist beliefs applicable to contemporary circumstance.
Renunciation of worldly matters, devotional practices, ceremonies and the invocation of bodhisattvas among other widely-accepted precepts are perceived to be inconvenient or impracticable to many self-declared 21st century Buddhists as highlighted by a review of living Buddhists found on the list of buddhists. The rejection of enlightenment-thinking, a pillar of modernism, also challenges traditional Buddhist principles.
Modern Buddhism includes a number of contemporary or modernized Buddhist movements such as Humanistic Buddhism, linkage between Buddhism and Gnosticism, Sōka Gakkai or Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism, the Vipassana movement, New Kadampa Tradition, and Fo Guang Shan among others.
