Jo and Melissa
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 Japan, and, let's face it still contentious for some now. Over 800 years later the practice he founded has spread around the world. It's an energising, hands-on approach to transforming your life and the world around you by connecting to the life force at the heart of the universe and everyone else on the planet.
buddhistchats episode 4: Naomi Stafford
Naomi Stafford shares how practising Nichiren buddhism has led to huge changes in how she approaches life. From fighting fear to striking the balance between striving for big goals whilst loving life as it is now. We laugh a lot, but - trigger warning - discuss bereavement and miscarriage too. Ultimately, chanting Nam myoho renge kyo helps transform it all into fuel for finding strength and joy in being alive.

buddhistchats episode 2: Pascal Coyne part 2
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.

buddhistchats episode 01: Pascal Coyne part 1
Pascal Coyne has been holding regular study meetings on Zoom during the past year. 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...
