Shoshu member. Professionally Alan is a self-employed Physical Therapist specializing in "Energy Healing". Besides his "Energy Healing" profession Alan lectures on Afro- centric teachings and Buddhism. Alan is among the most articulate Buddhist lecturers in America. Alan has been a Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist since his father Aaron Billups began practicing when Alan was 18 months old. Aaron Billups was once one of the highest ranking African/American leaders in the ex-communicated SGI. Racial prejudice in SGI lead Alan's father away from Buddhism, however Alan gained keen insight of Buddhist teachings as a youth and departed from the SGI and joined the Hokkeko Buddhist lay organization. Joining the Hokkeko Buddhist organization allowed Alan the opportunity to grow into his own as a Black and Proud Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist. Alan often lectures to groups and conferences and he has traveled to Africa to promote Buddhism. One name that is synonymous to a Proud Black Buddhist is Alan Billups. Page Two |
