Today's Haiku Radio Lecture

voice of a scholar making me feeling sleepy a spring afternoon

碩学の声の響きや昼の蝶

This morning, I found a professor Nakamura's lecture on the life of Buddha in YouTube. His teaching is easy to understand, yet deep and comprehensive. His speech style is so elegant and humorous that It reminds me of some traditional rakugo storytellers.

I was happy to confirm that Buddha was an Asian. Prof. Nakamura said that Buddha was from Shaka tribe which was a part of indigenous population in eastern India in those days, not the part of the late comers, Aryans. Racially, Shaka tribe belongs to Mongolian as we do.
