MLK Day with Noah Levine

Against The Stream - A podcast by Noah Levine - Mondays

I’ve gotten some sh*t for saying this in the past, but I haven't learned. Some of Martin Luther King's views and politics, I believe, are inspired by Buddhism. One time I gave a Dharma talk that MLK was a Buddhist, and then I got a whole bunch of sh*t about it, because he was very much a Christian. But a lot of his politics in civil rights and in fighting ignorance and oppression were influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent approach to creating change.
