Mindfulness of Buddhahood in Life: Revolutionary Insights of the Lotus Sutra

The Lotus Sutra is the coup de maitre of the Buddha’s enlightenment and achievement. Hailed as the King of all Sutras, the Lotus Sutra is the symbolism of Supreme Perfect Enlightenment for it focuses on the essence of the Buddha’s teachings: complete liberation of suffering through attaining Buddhahood quickly. Hence, the Lotus Sutra is the veritable beacon of hope for people who wish to live with peace, happiness, and dignity. Mindfulness of Buddhahood in Life: Revolutionary Insights of the Lotus Sutra is a refreshingly original and innovative book of commentary of the Lotus Sutra. Written by a lay female Buddhist practitioner, this book is packed with unorthodox perspectives of the Lotus Sutra. Vastly different from the worldviews and interpretations of Master Chih-I and Nichiren, the book aims to help readers debunk the preconceived notions of the Lotus Sutra by unravelling the secrets of the Buddha’s teachings through scriptural understanding of the metaphors, parables, and images as found in the Lotus Sutra. This is a must-read book for scholars as well as intermediate to advanced practitioners of Nichiren and Mahayana Buddhists alike who are keen to understand the Lotus Sutra from a theoretical and scriptural point of view. The refreshing insights-especially with respect to the compassion aspect of the Lotus Sutra- will certainly help you understand the pivotal roles played by Buddhas and bodhisattvas in supporting their disciples to attain Buddhahood quickly.
