NEW Deep in Japan podcast "KUKAI THE UNIVERSAL with Professor Steve McCarty" on the life and times of Japan's great saint Kūkai, Esoteric Buddhism, and Zen. I discuss the book in terms of East Asian history, language education, and translation issues including voice. My philosophy is expressed as well, so comments would be much appreciated.

With all those historical dramas :
I also venture on the Western side of things, like why is this happening here or there.
Nowadays , something that happened 300 years ago feels like modern times for example.
( for example, nearby Amsterdam is about 700 yrs. old.
Still a toddler-city compared with...)
