Why an Italian Zoomer Converted to BuddhismThis is the Illegitimate Scholar Podcast and this week I interview Theravada Buddhism practitioner, Angelo. Originating from Italy, Angelo narrates his transition from Catholicism to embracing Theravada Buddhism, discussing its practices, impact on morality, and viewpoints on gender roles, compared to Nichiren Buddhism and Westernized versions of the faith. The conversation extends to Angelo's critical view on abortion, political, and social concerns through a Buddhist lens. I address Buddhism's nuanced relationship with modern ideologies, debating its non-alignment with fixed political beliefs and detailing its influence on topics like immigration in Italy. It contrasts the allure of Buddhism in the West, its empirical approach through karma, and the vibrant Buddhist community across Italy, enriched by diverse practices and historical ties, including those to Julius Evola. The dialogue concludes by underscoring the importance of exploration and learning in understanding Buddhism's role in contemporary society and personal growth.00:00 Introduction 00:35 Italian Roots02:48 Why Buddhism?08:19 Nichiren Buddhism 20:44 Theravada Buddhism24:40 Buddhism in the West 34:03 Greek Influence on Buddhism39:04 Greco-Bactrian  Hellenistic Art53:20 Mahayana Buddhist Influence on Gnosticism01:01:29 Pali Language01:07:41 Forest Monks01:11:23 Interrupt  Myself01:11:47 City Monks01:17:38 Moinkas in the greater community01:21:53 Buddhism in Daily Life01:23:02 Western VS Traditional Buddhist Practices01:25:44 Abortion in Buddhism01:29:05 Dharma as Politics01:36:44 Italy and Immigration01:48:02 Global Influence of Buddhism01:57:25 Julius EvolaDiscord: https://discord.gg/KhJgpMj6JjPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholar Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1650280020 Twitter.com: https://twitter.com/ill_scholarYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRH77S0fVLmAZU4xLnAxuvw
