Kick-starting the Journey
Hello everyone! Welcome to 仏教の生き様 (bukkyou no ikizama), a blog series where I talk about how I learn about Buddhism , its connection with Japan and share my learnings with you. In this blog, I'll talk about my initial steps to learn about Buddhism. Buddhism being a vast topic, I needed an opening to start with Buddhism. For the same, I asked students, studying in the 2nd year of BA (Hons.) Japanese program in EFLU , Hyderabad regarding their interests in Buddhism and what they want to know about Buddhism in Japan. Eventually, I was led to ponder on the following 2 questions: 1) How Buddhism came to Japan? 2) Why did Buddhism influence Japanese people while there were other ethnic religions? Hereon, taking these as my lead, I'll be studying these as topics and will address these in my future blogs , so keep connected as we learn together! Happy learning ^_^ Arpit Gupta BA (Hons) Japanese EFLU, Hyderabad Other Blogs : About Contact: apt.arpit.gup@gmail.c...
