BUDDHISM FOR TODAY
A Modern Interpretation of
the Threefold Lotus Sutra
by Nikkyo Niwano
A companion to the widely
acclaimed translation The Threefold Lotus Sutra, this volume aids
readers in understanding, in a modern context, the profundities of this
Buddhist scripture. In this work, the thirty-two chapters of the Threefold
Lotus Sutra are discussed in detail. Obscure points are clarified, and the
true meaning of each chapter of this incomparable sutra is unfolded so that
all may understand the Buddha's ageless teaching of wisdom, compassion,
and liberation. This comprehensive commentary makes the Lotus Sutra immediately
accessible, vividly bringing its twenty-five-hundred-year-old message to
life.
NIKKYO NIWANO, winner of the 1979 Templeton Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion and author of Shakyamuni Buddha and A Buddhist Approach to Peace, is the founder of Rissho Kosei-kai, a lay Buddhist organization with well over six million members worldwide.
