An essential companion to "The Threefold Lotus Sutra",
By "karmagrrl" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide to the Threefold Lotus Sutra (Paperback)
More than just a companion book! Nikkyo Niwano, while summarizing the contents of the Lotus Sutra and expanding on its major points, also explains, using the context of the parables of the Lotus Sutra, the basic tenets of Buddhism and their relevance to today's world. This "Guide" takes a wonderful, ancient religious and philosophical text and brings it to life again.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great guide for the threefold Lotus Sutra,
By Raheim Baltazar (West Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide to the Threefold Lotus Sutra (Paperback)
This book condenses the 3-fold Lotus Sutra to understandable simple terms without missing the important details of Shakyamuni preaching the true nature of Buddhahood as it can be attained by anyone regardless of any circumstances or condition. Each character and scene are well incorporated into brief paragraphs which cover the hidden message of each chapter, with a good description of the characters and their relationship to the cosmic scene. I really appreciated reading this book, especially for its compact size. Truly a wonderful book. Excellent work. I also recommend "Buddhism for Today" by Niwano.
