15 - The Life of Nichiren Daishonin - The Revolutionary Buddha for Our Time

‪@BuddhismTalks‬ In this episode I share the best moments from two talks with Ned Boyden on the life and significance of Nichiren Daishonin, and why his teachings and courageous example are more relevant today than ever before.
