George Takei: Buddhism ‘Made A Lot Of Sense For Me'

Carol Kuruvilla

George Takei is an actor, a social media star, and a gay rights activist.

He’s also a longtime Buddhist whose faith has helped him get through the rough patches in his life -- like coming to terms with his sexual orientation and making sense of his Japanese family’s internment during World War II.

Buddhism makes a lot of sense even to some of us non-Buddhists, particularly in its emphasis on compassion.
