Donald Lopez & Jacqueline Stone - How To Read The Lotus Sutra

So much in the Lotus Sutra — the teaching of the one vehicle, the Buddha’s use of skillful means, and the revolutionary idea that there can be more than one buddha in the world at a time — has become fundamental and foundational material for Mahayana Buddhism. But why is this sutra so difficult to understand? Professors Jacqueline Stone and Donald Lopez, Jr. have written a chapter-by-chapter guide to the Lotus Sutra, a highly readable commentary that flips between ancient India and medieval Japan. In this interview, James Shaheen talks to the two professors about their work.
