The Humanism of Kōbō Daishi
From the Youtube channel's description:
Prof. George Tanabe, Prof. Emeritus University of Hawaii, discusses American Buddhism vs. traditional Buddhist forms as practiced in Hawaii, and the challenge of bridging the divide between the two groups and needs of people. Prof. Tanabe illustrates the need for Buddhism to leave the temple and meet people where they are, and the challenge of transmitting ancient wisdom traditions to modern people.
