The Lotus Sūtra: The White Lotus Sūtra of the True Dharma

by Johan Hendrik Caspar Kern, Nicolas Soames (Translator), Taradasa (Narrator)

'THE LOTUS SŪTRA' is one of the most popular and influential Mahayana sutras and the basis on which the Tiantai, Tendai, Cheontae, and Nichiren schools of Buddhism were established. For many East Asian Buddhists ,'THE LOTUS SŪTRA' contains the ultimate and complete teaching of the Buddha and the reciting of the text is believed to be very auspicious.

Not that I haven't finished, I just keep reading it, can you ever finish reading the Sutra?

[Astro McGillicuddy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This document contains profound wisdom which is muddled by a number of repetitive, wordy passages equal to the sand of hundreds of thousands of hundred thousands of millions of myriads of Ganges rivers

The Lotus Sutra is an absolute MUST if one wants to get into the Metaphysics of Boddhisattvas vs. Arahants and the cosmic application of Buddhism, wherein the world of Buddhism is applied into the making of a cosmos, a telos, and many other structures not common within Western Buddhism. I love this Sutra. It also gave me some meaningful Dharanis I could do to help with life and struggles.

An introduction would have been nice, as there are many Sanskrit words they leave untranslated, and it takes time to look them up that makes this version less accessible for those new to the Lotus Sutra such as myself. Seems like a good translation, just not accessible due to unexplained theological terms it expects you to already know.

Cheap on Kindle, pretty good translation. A few typos here and there.

Otherwise, just the Lotus Sutra.
