Masatoshi Nagatomi Age, Birthday, Zodiac Sign and Birth Chart

Masatoshi Nagatomi was a Japanese professor of Buddhist studies at Harvard University from September 1, 1926 to June 3, 2000. He was affectionately known as 'Mas.' His significant contribution to Buddhist studies includes coining the term Nikaya Buddhism, which serves as a modern replacement for the term Hinayana Buddhism, used historically for non-Mahayana sects. This change reflects a growing sensitivity to terminology within the Buddhist community, aiming to address derogatory connotations associated with the older term.
