Trailer for Bright on Buddhism! This will be a podcast where we discuss and explain topics of Buddhism in a casual, conversational, question and answer setting. My name is Nick Bright, scholar of East Asian Buddhism. I am currently studying for my Master’s degree in East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, where I am specializing in early modern Japanese Buddhism. I have written and researched topics such as Japanese Buddhist responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, Buddhist Haiku poetry, and Japanese religious themes in martial arts. I will be joined by my friend Proven Paradox, who is also deeply interested in Buddhism. We hope you enjoy!
