Description

The Lotus Sutra is one of the most influential Mahayana sutras, and its impact has shaped several schools of Buddhism. Written over 2,000 years ago, this sacred text presents itself as a discourse delivered by the Buddha towards the end of his life. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, with some parts dating back to between 100 BC and 100 AD. The earliest known Sanskrit title for the sutra is the Saddharma Pundarika Sutra, which translates to "the Lotus Flower Formula (or Rule) of Good Dharma." This text has been a cornerstone of Mahayana Buddhism for centuries, with its teachings on compassion, wisdom, and the nature of reality continuing to inspire and guide spiritual seekers. This paperback edition features 366 pages of the original text, offering readers a unique opportunity to explore one of the most important Buddhist scriptures.
