In this podcast, I wanted to share some insight about how we look at the spiritual elements through Western eyes. Through my practice, I have seen that there is another dimension of understanding these concepts.

This is something that we as Western modern Buddhists need to study and learn about. What did Nichiren Shonin mean by "Zen Devils" with mistaken views. Where did he get this idea? Here I offer some context for these statements.

Recently, I had to honor to hold a Tokudo ceremony for my student to enter the path of becoming a novice priest. I gave him a new Dharma name (HoMyo) to him. This episode, explains what that means

This is the most fundamental question that every practitioner should ask themselves everyday! Kihon or fundamentals are the foundation of our lives.

We look into the Wisdom of Nichiren Shonin's understanding of the power and purpose of the Odaimoku in the Age of the Declining Dharma.

This is going to be a shocker for many people who perhaps have a wrong view of what Buddhism will teach us. Only listen if you dare to challenge your idea of the purpose of Buddhist practice.

Join us for chanting the Odaimoku (Namu Myoho Renge Kyo).

In this episode, we finish our series with the eighth factor of the Noble Eightfold Path series, with a lecture on Right Concentration. In modern times this word concentration is everywhere, but what makes the Buddha's attainment so special?

In this episode we will cover "Right Mindfulness." The seventh of the Eightfold Path. With this word being thrown around everywhere, it is important as a Buddhist practitioner to understand its meaning as to your practice.
