“Is It Wrong to Say Buddhism and Its Teachings Can Save You?”

This talk explores whether it is appropriate to say that Buddhism can “save” us, reframing salvation as liberation through awakening rather than rescue from outside. Drawing connections between Easter’s message of renewal and the Buddha’s birth on April 8th, it highlights our shared human potential for transformation. Rooted in Nichiren Buddhist practice, the lecture emphasizes personal responsibility, inner awakening, and the compassionate call to share the Buddha Dharma so that all beings may find freedom from suffering. 🙏
