NICHIREN BUDDHISM, WITH CLARK STRAND
Description
Clark Strand is a teacher,
journalist, and former Zen Buddhist monk who previously served as senior editor
of the magazine Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. He is the author of the books How to Believe in God: Whether You Believe
in Religion or Not and Meditation without
Gurus. His latest book is Waking the Buddha: How the Most Dynamic and
Empowering Buddhist Movement in History Is Changing Our Concept of Religion.

insight into how and why the Soka Gakkai, with its practical applications and
egalitarian approach, is redefining not just Buddhism, but religion itself.
