Synopsis:
Three great Mahayana Buddhist texts: the Lotus Sutra, and its two companion sutras, the Sutra of Innumerable Meanings and the Sutra of Meditation on the Bodhisattva Universal Virtue.
The Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Wonderful Law, more popularly known as the Lotus Sutra, is revered by millions of Buddhists as containing the core and culmination of the Buddha`s teaching. Together with the two shorter sutras that traditionally accompany it, it comprises one of the most important scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism and indeed one of the major documents of world religion.
In the Threefold Lotus Sutra all three scriptures are presented together for the first time in English. The Lotus Sutra itself is based on the translation from the Chinese made by Bunno Kato and W.E.Soothill, thoroughly revised and annotated in the light of present scholarship.
The Lotus Sutra consists of a series of discourses delivered by the Buddha before a great multitude of disciples and other beings. The setting and scope are cosmic, but the discourses themselves, presented in both prose and verse, are replete with parables and graphic anecdotes. |
