सद्धर्मपुण्डरीकसूत्र
The Lotus Sutra
Buddhism
Scripture of a living faith: the library collects it and does not score it, and readers cannot rate it.
A Mahayana sutra that teaches one vehicle to awakening for all beings, told through parables such as the burning house and the lost son. Kumarajiva's Chinese translation became the basis of the Tiantai and Tendai schools and of Nichiren Buddhism, whose followers chant its title. Few Buddhist texts have shaped East Asian art and devotion as widely.
