About Me

From the author of the Buddhist discovery novel, "Myth Shattering," we now present Timothy Harada's "The Selected Writings From Soka University of America," Volume I: "Speaking Truth to Power." In the first volume, "Speaking Truth to Power" Timothy Harada dissects every aspect of US culture, life and US foreign and domestic policy, from mass imprisonment of minorities, the corporatization of the media and politics, the destruction of one of the largest industries in the US during the 1930s, hemp, to the training of Latin American death squads in the US, the selling of crack cocaine by the US government and the housing of terrorist training camps in the US. As any true patriot would, Timothy questions in a Socratic way every action of his government and the citizens of his nation, in hopes of transforming the current nefarious dealings of his government and people and making the US and the world a better place for all conscious and concerned human beings.
"Nichiren wrote that wrath can be either good or bad. Self-centered anger generates evil, but wrath at social injustice becomes the driving force for reform. Strong language that censures and combats a great evil often awakens adverse reaction from society, but this must not intimidate those who believe they are right. The lion is a lion because he roars (Daisaku Ikeda, 'Planetary Citizenship' Pg 40."
