Sinossi
Come Socrate e Gesù, Buddha non scrisse nulla e il suo insegnamento ci è arrivato attraverso quello che i discepoli ci hanno tramandato. La dottrina del Buddha si basa sulla vita contemplativa, sull'amore del prossimo e sulla gioia compartecipe. Ma all'inizio della nostra era si diffuse in Oriente l'idea che accanto alle dottrine già conosciute ci fossero altri insegnamenti del Buddha rimasti nascosti e conosciuti solo da pochi. Essi furono raccolti nei cosiddetti Sutra, letteralmente "fili" del discorso. Tra i vari Sutra il"Sutra del Loto" è quello più diffuso in Cina e in Giappone, e si propone come libro devozionale alla portata di tutti gli uomini, non solo asceti e i monaci.

The whole thing stinks of the tro Leggi tutto
So, one does not rate the Lotus Sutra. It's the Lotus Sutra. What's being evaluated here is the translation and presentation of the work. Overall, Burton Watson's translation is a good, non-offensive go-to edition pretty easily found in print. It's also non-scholar friendly, making it a good choice f Leggi tutto
The basis of my faith. Commentary to follow once I've compared to the new edition out last year.
definitely more of a 2.5 but it’s not comparable at all to the kind of books I usually read having finished this, I understand I’m supposed to teach it, share it, hear it, etc. but, I am lost on the exact *what* I’m supposed to be sharing, other that the Lotus Sutra is the highest of all Sutras and Leggi tutto
This is far and away the best version of any English translation. It alone has footnotes that reveal extremely important information and clarifications you will not find in any other source. It also has the unpolluted version of the Dragon Princess chapter. If you are going to read the sutra in Engli Leggi tutto
