Jo and Melissa practice Nichiren Buddhism, a practical way of turning whatever life throws at you into a source of strength, connection with others and deep joy. They chat with some of the awesome human beings they"ve met through the practice. Nichiren Daishonin found the great truth at the heart of the Lotus Sutra (one of Siddhattha Gautama / Buddha Shakyamuni"s later teachings) - everyone, equally, has the potential to attain Buddhahood, just as they are. This was revolutionary for 13th century

Claire Perriam decided to start exploring Buddhism when she had a sudden encounter with death and began to question the meaning of life more deeply. We talk about the concept of 'winning' in Nichiren Buddhism and how chanting Nam myoho renge kyo will definitely lead to a feeling of victory but maybe not in the way you'd imagined. We also touch on Brownies, autism, and finding meaning in work and end up mangling a wonderful quote about fruit. Suffice to say, the gist of it is ..cherry, plum, peach,

Just in time to end the 2022 on a high, we chat (and laugh a lot) with writer Paul Bassett Davies. We explore the tension between striving to develop more courage, wisdom and compassion, and being funny. And he shares how he’s been able to transform his approach to obstacles - so they don't ‘fill the screen’ of his life. Chanting nam myoho renge kyo taps into a deeper wisdom than our brains can usually come up with. As he says: ‘Don't try and think your way out of something that was created by your

Everything comes into existence, lives, then goes back into non-existence. This includes galaxies, us and everyone we love. It's natural - but of course, that doesn't make it much easier to deal with. If we can learn to accept and even embrace this, we enjoy life so much more. This episode explores how Buddhism helps us to do this.

It’s been wonderful to be able to continue the discussions we have about Buddhism while we couldn’t get together in person. We wanted to share how great these sessions are, so we chatted with him about the big questions of Buddhism on a couple of sunny mornings in early 2021. In this episode, we discuss what Nichiren Buddhism is, why it works and how to do it.It's 50 minutes long, give or take a few seconds...
