Sadharma Pundarika 'discurse of the fine law',
This review is from: Drama of Cosmic Enlightenment: Parables, Myths, and Symbols of the White Lotus Sutra (Paperback)
Must comentaries of the sutras or Buddhist canonical scriptures are technical or popular, too dry or too soft. This one is either. Aim at a lay audience the 9 chapters or so go through 7 of the main stories paraboles and myths of this sutra. The Sadharma Pundarika has geven birth to schools of Buddhism, works of Art, and endless comentaries. No wonder why, In the suttra we find the Buddha at it's most grand, the Dharma at it's deepest. ... the Sangha should just read it. This books helps to wet one's appetite for it.
