No Doubt: A Shin Buddhist Approach

In this episode, we take a look at how Shin Buddhists can approach the issue of ecumenical work and interfaith dialogue. This will segway into the overarching issue of what the Shin Buddhist religious identity is. Is it really sincere to say, "All religions are all getting to the same place anyway," or does meaningful interfaith dialogue require something more from us?

Happy New Year! Today, we will look at some of the basic points of Jodo Shinshu, a school of Pure Land Buddhism. FYI, a couple of head-scratching terms are thrown in there, but hey, what's Buddhism without a few of those! In the second half, we will look at a possible Buddhist interpretation of the turbulent times we face. The nembutsu is how we can tap into the selfless humanity embracing all beings. To a hopeful new year! Gassho.

In this episode, we take a look at the issue of recent trends in the promotion and acceptance of conspiracy theories and about the goggles that we all wear.

It's been 3 months! Time for a new episode and Happy New Year everyone. In this episode, we look at the issue of "evil" and how it is easy to misunderstand the significance of this teaching in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. Take a listen while you enjoy a cup of coffee...or a cup of tea....it'll make sense later, I promise.

In this episode, we will look at the issue of racism and social inequality and what Shin Buddhism has to say about this. In short, Amida's Great Compassion gives us the courage and audacity to look thoroughly at the self. In the second segment, we will focus on what the definition of "humanity" is. Thought you had it? For this, let's turn to an unlikely source—the terminator. Tune in to see why!
