Buddhism has become more visible in society whether a statue in a garden, an image on a t-shirt, jewelry, a coffee mug, weaving its way into pop culture. People associate the image of the Buddha with peace and tranquility however, the assumption is that the Buddha was only one person. So what is or who is a Buddha? The answer is......YOU! Every living being possesses the potential to become enlightened by revealing the innate Buddha nature that lies in every living being. Buddhahood is not a final, static destination reached and you magically become an enlightened Buddha. It simply means to tirelessly continue to strive along the path of absolute happiness for oneself and others. 

In past episodes we have briefly mentioned that we both practice Buddhism. There are so many different sects so we've decided to discuss and share with you our knowledge and experiences of this philosophy we both have implemented in our lives, Nichiren Buddhism. We briefly discuss the history, tenets and concepts as well as the community, lay educational organization, Soka Gakkai International. 

Awaken your dormant Buddha nature. You deserve it so go and "grab" your happy!
