15 - The Life of Nichiren Daishonin - The Revolutionary Buddha Of Our Time

Описание: ‪@BuddhismTalks‬ In this episode I share the best moments from two talks with Ned Boyden on the life and significance of Nichiren Daishonin, and why his teachings and courageous example are more relevant today than ever before. In this heartfelt exchange, Ned and I discuss the joy and value of reading Nichiren's writings and, as a rare treat, Ned shares some of the less commonly known details he discovered during research for his book "In the Valley of the Pine Needles - Stories of Historical Fiction based on the Life and Times of Nichiren Daishonin."
