Buddhism in Everyday Life: Mindfulness, Karma & Finding Your Buddhahood | God's Casting Call Ep. 10

What does Buddhism look like in everyday life? On Episode 10 of God's Casting Call, host Roman G. welcomes Amira, a UNLV business student and lifelong practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism, for a conversation about faith, mindfulness, karma, relationships, technology, and finding meaning in the routines and challenges of daily life. Amira explains how chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo fits into her Buddhist practice and discusses setting intentions, staying present during stressful moments, balancing smartphones and social media with real-world priorities, and viewing Buddhahood as something found within ourselves. Roman and Amira also explore common ideas and misconceptions about attachment and karma, the importance of dialogue and human connection, handling difficult relationships with compassion, responding to failure and unexpected change, and the role friendship and community can play in personal growth. The conversation even turns to pop culture, including My Little Pony, Naruto, Pokémon, and other stories that Amira sees as reflecting themes of friendship, perseverance, community, and believing in others. Whether you're familiar with Buddhism or simply curious about different approaches to spirituality, Episode 10 offers a student perspective on bringing Buddhist principles into modern everyday life. Topics include: Nichiren Buddhism, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, mindfulness, daily prayer and chanting, karma, Buddhahood, intentional living, social media and digital distractions, compassion, relationships, friendship, failure, resilience, community, and spirituality at UNLV.
