Description

Bright On Buddhism - Buddhish Episode 6 - Hello and welcome to a different kind of episode of Bright on Buddhism called "Buddhish"! These episodes are unscripted, untimed, and unedited. Note that we're speaking less formally here and explicit language used. Listener discretion advised!
Today, we are discussing the assassination of Japanese Former PM Shinzo Abe. This is a shocking historical event that has rocked Japan and its allies, and we are here to discuss some of what is known about the assassination, what it means for Japanese politics and society, and who Shinzo Abe was. As this is some people's first foray into Japanese culture and politics, we take the chance to discuss some of the culture around Japanese politics and society and how it will likely change going forward. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome to Bright on Buddhism, a podcast where we discuss and explain topics of Buddhism in a casual, conversational, question and answer setting. My name is Nick Bright, scholar of East Asian Buddhism. I am currently studying for my Master’s degree in Religion at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, where I am specializing in pre-modern Japanese Buddhist architecture history. I have researched topics such as Japanese Buddhist responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, Buddhist Haiku poetry, and the Japanese history of science and religion. I will be joined by my friend Proven Paradox.
