A Buddhist Podcast

Jason Jarrett

This Podcast is a free show about the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. Jason and Karen are members of the Soka Gakkai. Every two weeks they take a Buddhist study point and do their best to make it easy to understand and of use to anyone who listens. Practical Buddhism for living in the 21st Century, not beside a remote lake or mountainside but in the midst of daily life, with a job to do, a house to run and children to raise.

Listen to the last episode:

Welcome to A Buddhist Podcast for 1st October 2023. Tonights show is the Tenth in a series of dialogues on the Gohonzon between Luigi Finocchiaro, Peter Morris and myself. Tonight we talk about Nichirens exile to Sado Island.

We also discuss:

  • Going to Sado Island was not a one way trip, Nichiren's disciples travelled back and forth
  • Our practice to the Gohonzon mandala is the eternal return of the Ceremony in the Air
  • Kankenki drawings of 1254
  • Without Honen there may not have been Nichiren
  • Sado is where Nichiren starts to cast off his chrysalis and become a butterfly and at Minobu begins to fly
  • Nichirens famous writings on Sado Island, The True Object of Worship and The Opening of the Eyes are extant and clarified so much of Nichiren's teachings
  • We can question whether Nichiren was sent to Sado to die, that might not be true!
  • Japan is unlike Europe, its natural disasters have meant that nothing about Japan has remained the same physically
