S11:E6 Rethinking Buddhism: Uniting Modern Society with Compassion
First Aired: May 04, 2023
Runtime: 28 min
Kyoto has been a stronghold of Buddhism for a millennium, with over 1,600 temples located in its city limits. But temples face a drop in parishioners as the population declines and youth show disinterest. One priest tackles social problems, such as suicide, while artisans create appealing statues and ritual objects. An android makes Buddhist teachings more accessible, and an IT system enables discourse with priests. Discover the novel ways Buddhism is being promulgated in step with the times.
