Day of Remembrance and Moving Forward

My story from today's odd events culminating in my final decision to leave Nichiren Shoshū Buddhism entirely and embrace secular Buddhism as a growing grassroots movement, and an attempt to formalize parts of that grassroots community into a secular, Lotus Sutra based school of Buddhism for the 21st century and beyond, based on science, evidence, logic, ethics, compassion etc.

Our first episode and a very high level rambling talk about secular Buddhism movements and how secular Lotus buddhism fits into that big picture and overall into the much larger 2500 year history of more traditional, and typically Asisn based and more theistic Buddhism.
