AN INTERNATIONAL Buddhist leader will try to bring a little zen to Oxford with a talk in the city.
Robert Harrap, general director of Soka Gakkai International will give his talk entitled ‘Can Buddhism Help Create Peace? – An introduction to Nichiren Buddhism’ at The Oxford Union on Friday, May 19, from 3pm.
Soka Gakkai is a Buddhist organisation based on the ‘empowering’ philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism, a humanistic network for peace existing in 192 countries.
Mr Harrap, a former London barrister, left the law in 2013 to join SGI.
