Our man Brad reflects on Tina Turner´s Buddhism. In September 2022, I actually linked to some content dealing with the same topic. Purely by coincidence, I researched it on the same day as a Tina Turner death hoax was spreading like wildfire on the web. Tina Turner did pass away eventually, but in May 2023.
I don´t claim to know the details of the pop icon´s connections to Nichiren Buddhism or the Soka Gakkai, but she did have an interest in it, at least for some time. Nor was she alone on the African-American music scene to adopt Nichiren chanting. Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock are two other examples.
I admit I had no idea! Interesting.
