Book Reviews of A Buddhist Kaleidoscope: Essays on the Lotus Sutra
Book Review: The most useful collection of articls about the Lotus sutra.
Summary: 5 Stars
The lotus sutra, along side with the Prajnaparamitra sutras, is considered by many as the corner stone of Mahayana Buddhism. The teachings of Emptiness, the idea of the Buddhisatva and the "ever present Buddha", are well recorded throughout the sutra, and give everyone that reads in it a taste of pure Mahayana style philosophy. This "Buddhist Kaleidoskope" takes many many points of view on the sutra and try to explain them in a broader context. I find this collection to be amazing as far the subjects being delt with, and I think that anyone who has an interest in the Lotus should ,at least, check the table of content....
If you want to have an idea of how great this collection is, read these numbers : 6 chapters about various subjects regarding the sutra, more than 30 articles, more than 25 different writers . I found it very helpful indeed....
P.S - If you're looking for the stories within the sutra, from a folclorist point of view, I would suggest reading the : "Miraculous tales of the Lotus sutra from ancient Japan" by priest Chingen. .
