My story from today's odd events culminating in my final decision to leave Nichiren Shoshū Buddhism entirely and embrace secular Buddhism as a growing grassroots movement, and an attempt to formalize parts of that grassroots community into a secular, Lotus Sutra based school of Buddhism for the 21st century and beyond, based on science, evidence, logic, ethics, compassion etc.
