Book excerpt: "The Wonderful Dharma Lotus Sutra is one of the major Buddhist texts of East Asia. It was spoken in the last period of Śakyamuni Buddha's life, proclaiming the ultimate principles of the Dharma, which unites all previous teachings into one. With many parables - e.g. that of the burning house, the lost son, and the rain - the Buddha teaches that all beings can become fully enlightened Buddhas and that this achievement has always been the ultimate intent of his teaching. All the chapters include extensive commentary by the Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua, whose lively and highly accessible explanations show this ancient text's meaning as instructions for practice of the spiritual path even in the modern world. This set of fifteen volumes is a new English translation based on the first translation published by the Buddhist Text Translation Society between 1977 and 1998. The review and editorial work was coordinated by the International Institute for the Translation of Buddhist Texts at Dharma Realm Buddhist University. The set consists of an initial volume titled the Prologue, thirteen volumes containing the twenty-eight chapters of the sutra with commentary, and a final volume featuring the text of the entire sutra"--
Download or read book The Lotus Sutra written by and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its appearance in China in the third century, The Lotus Sutra has been regarded as one of the most illustrious scriptures in the Mahayana Buddhist canon. The object of intense veneration among generations of Buddhists in China, Korea, Japan, and other parts of the world, it has had a profound impact on the great works of Japanese and Chinese literature, attracting more commentary than any other Buddhist scripture. As Watson notes in the introduction to his remarkable translation, " The Lotus Sutra is not so much an integral work as a collection of religious texts, an anthology of sermons, stories, and devotional manuals, some speaking with particular force to persons of one type or in one set of circumstances, some to those of another type or in other circumstances. This is no doubt why it has had such broad and lasting appeal over the ages and has permeated so deeply into the cultures that have been exposed to it."

Download or read book The Lotus Sutra written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lotus Sutra is regarded as one of the world's great religious scriptures and most influential texts. It's a seminal work in the development of Buddhism throughout East Asia and, by extension, in the development of Mahayana Buddhism throughout the world. Taking place in a vast and fantastical cosmic setting, the Lotus Sutra places emphasis on skillfully doing whatever is needed to serve and compassionately care for others, on breaking down distinctions between the fully enlightened buddha and the bodhisattva who vows to postpone salvation until all beings may share it, and especially on each and every being's innate capacity to become a buddha. Gene Reeves's new translation appeals to readers with little or no familiarity with technical Buddhist vocabulary, as well as long-time practitioners and students. In addition, this remarkable volume includes the full "threefold" text of this classic.
