Lotus Sutra, Part 4

Michael talks about Fukushima, Libya, and how lucky we are to practice in a place that is safe. The talk outlines how Mahayana Buddhism developed after the death of the Buddha with an emphasis on serving others and putting off personal enlightenment to serve the world. It ends with a moving story about a high school student rubbing the back of an elderly man at an evacuation centre in Japan. Recorded on March 22, 2011.
