The "Lotus Sutra" proclaims that a unitary intent underlies the
diversity of Buddhist teachings and promises that all people
without exception can achieve supreme awakening. Establishing the
definitive guide to this profound text, specialists in Buddhist
philosophy, art, and history of religion address the major ideas
and controversies surrounding the "Lotus Sutra" and its
manifestations in ritual performance, ascetic practice, visual
representations, and social action across history. Essays survey
the Indian context in which the sutra was produced, its compilation
and translation history, and its influence across China and Japan,
among many other issues. The volume also includes a Chinese and
Japanese character glossary, notes on Western translations of the
text, and a synoptic bibliography.
