Jack London’s Koreans as “People of the Abyss
Jack London (1876–1916) was America’s leading novelist and short story writer at the dawn of the twentieth century. He was also a brilliant essayist and feature-writing journalist and a crusading socialist, an impassioned and articulate spokesman for the underclasses. In his essays and in much of his fiction, London was determined to demonstrate the squalid living conditions of the working class. His most poignant work is his 1903 book The People…

Jack London: The Adventurer-Writer who Chronicled Asian Wars, Confronted Racism-and Saw the Future (Revised)
He stood among the Japanese soldiers wearing a weather-beaten visored cap over his short, dark hair and a rough hewn jacket covering his broad soldiers, a cigarette angling away from his square jaw and a camera dangling from his gloved hand. As they studied documents, the Japanese troops contrasted with Jack London in their box hats and high collared uniforms. A photographer present immortalized London looking like the adventurer and writer that …
Soka Gakkai International: The Global Expansion of a Japanese Buddhist Movement
Japan's Soka Gakkai is the largest of Japan's many New Religious Movements with a major presence not only in Japan, but also meaningful representation in nearly 200 foreign countries and territories. This Japan-based Buddhist organization which in 2013 claims ten million members at home has attracted over two million followers abroad through its ability to assimilate into local cultures and to offer doctrines and practices that are universal in t…

Soka Gakkai in Australia
Japan's Soka Gakkai International (SGI) has established a small but growing chapter in Australia that in 2002 had about 2,500 members nationwide. Since its founding in the mid-1960s, SGI Australia (SGIA) has evolved into a highly heterogeneous movement dominated by ethnic Asians, of which a large number are Chinese from Southeast Asia. SGIA's appeal is both social and religious. A key factor for SGIA's growth is its emphasis on the concept of com…

The dispute between the Sōka Gakkai and the Nichiren Shōshū priesthood: A lay revolution against a conservative clergy
The recent confrontation between the SOka Gakkai, Japan's largest lay Buddhist organization, and the Nichiren ShOshi priesthood that erupted in 1990 revealed an interesting contrast between a reformist lay Buddhist movement and a conservative priesthood that claims the mantle of orthodoxy. The dispute also raises some meaningful questions concerning the state of religion and society in Japan. Can a lay Buddhist movement survive on its own in an i…
The History and Theology of Soka Gakkai: A Japanese New Religion
The Sōka Gakkai’s search for the realization of the world of Risshō ankokuron
The solution of man's problems, the creation of a better world, and the quest for a higher realm or better way of life are among the goals of the world's major religions. These questions are important to Buddhists and dominate the thinking and writing of Buddhist scholars. Japan's Nichiren school of Buddhism whose sects base their teachings on the doctrines of the thirteenth century Japanese monk, Nichiren, is one of the many forms of Japanese Bu…
