In this episode, we get a window into the crazy life and times of Brian Daizen Victoria, Sōtō Zen priest/activist and author of many scholarly books on the relationship between religion and violence. In this episode, we focus on his Zen at War, which fleshes out the relationship between Zen Buddhism and Japanese militarism during World War II.
