    17 - Being Buddhist in Washington

    ‪@BuddhismTalks‬ In this episode I talk to Joe Parks, an SGI Buddhist in Washington DC, about waking up with armoured cars in your city. We discuss how the greatest evils can provoke good, how societal events can be a stimulus for creating positive transformation, particularly when based on human centred philosophy. We discuss topics such as: How the stress of the current challenges can deepen our sense of what it means to be humanThe value of actions in community and the inspiration of youthThe value of deepening our sense of identity beyond race and gender to our eternal identity as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, who appear to create value during the most difficult of timesThe horizon of 2030 and the crucial nature of these next 5 yearsThe importance of chanting in a vibrant, 'youthful' way This podcast is a non-official, creative project.For more information about SGI visit the official website: https://www.sokaglobal.orgFor SGI-USA podcasts and information, presented with a youthful and contemporary spirit, visit: https://buddhability.orgFor more information on Buddhism Talks and to sign up for the bi-annual newsletter "Our Renaissance" visit: https://www.buddhismtalks.com#sokagakkai #nichirenbuddhism #nichiren #nichirendaishonin #buddhismandlife #buddhistphilosophy #buddhismforbeginners #motivation #motivational #mindset #inspiration #peace

    16 - Buddhism As Training For Our Humanity

    ‪@BuddhismTalks‬ In this episode I talk to John Callahan, the former SGI Canada Men's Leader about the value of role models, challenges facing young men, and how Buddhist practice is like weight training for your humanity. His academic background in math, physics and industrial engineering opened a path to becoming a university business professor for 30 years, but it is his buddhist practice that is a large part of how happy he is as a person. Some of the topics we touch on are: Buddhism as "Intentional Optimism"How we can change the past with our shifts in the presentWhy Buddhist activities are never "retreats"Why leadership in SGI is more about lifting than it is about leadingWhy Buddhism is about "stupidity vs wisdom" rather than "good vs evil"This podcast is a non-official, creative project.For more information about SGI visit the official website: https://www.sokaglobal.orgFor SGI-USA podcasts and information, presented with a youthful and contemporary spirit, visit: https://buddhability.orgFor more information on Buddhism Talks and to sign up for the bi-annual newsletter "Our Renaissance" visit: https://www.buddhismtalks.com#sokagakkai #nichirenbuddhism #nichiren #nichirendaishonin #buddhismandlife #buddhistphilosophy #buddhismforbeginners #motivation #motivational #mindset #inspiration

    14 - How To Chant & "May The Force Be With You"

    ‪@BuddhismTalks‬ Buddhism is all about potential and access to our powerful enlightened life energy so we can transform our lives and our world. In this episode I use the analogy of Star Wars to share some similarities with Buddhism i.e. there is a force and some get trained to become really good at using it to win against negative forces. For buddhists that training is learning how to chant and practice this Buddhism.This podcast is a personal creative project.

    10 - Soka (Value Creative) Education - How it relates to individual and societal happiness

    It's my honour to talk to Dr. Paul Sherman about the many dimensions of Soka education i.e. What is it? Who is Tsunesaburo Makiguchi? How did Soka education start? What is its objective and how did it get to Canada? Also, how did Paul turn a tough career situation into a dream job of creating value?As Daisaku Ikeda explains: "The starting point and essence of Soka (value-creating) education is the spirit to treasure each student's individuality so that they can become happy and enjoy a glorious future. Education does not exist for the sake of the nation, for business, or for religion. The aim of Soka education is the happiness of oneself and others, as well as society as a whole, and peace for all humanity." https://www.daisakuikeda.org/main/edu...For more information about Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Value Creating Education visit: https://www.tmakiguchi.orgFor more information about Nichiren Buddhism as practiced in the SGI visit: https://www.sokaglobal.orgFor podcasts and content with a youthful, contemporary spirit, please visit: https://buddhability.org#sokagakkai #nichirenbuddhism #education #educationmatters #buddhism #buddhismandlife #buddhismforbeginners
