Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-04 00:00:00 Charlein Lemmon There are too many parallels with the New Testament theologically to list them all. The earliest evidence of the Lotus Sutra is after the Christian faith spread in India. Suddenly, this Sutra comes on the scene, adopting the concept of heaven, justification by faith, redemption available to all not just to the few, the Buddha morphs into the Supreme Being who occasionaly takes human form to guide his people to heaven, and when he is not physically present, his spirit inspires his followers. This Sutra is a rejection of Buddha's earlier teaching and the bulk of this composition is trying to explain that conclusion away. The similarities I have encountered in researching every major faith and Eastern philosophy is astounding. Humanity is endowed with an appreciation of an inexplicable higher power that preaches tolerance, rejection of sin and violence, hope and love. The glaring exception is Islam and that because of the warped concept of the Hadith, retroactively attributing to The Prophet laws he never espoused.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-12 00:00:00 V R Patience Soothill's translation of the White Lotus Sutra is rendered in a straightforward style. Unfortunately it is incomplete and contains intrusive interpolations by the translator. The paperback edition was apparently first published in the UK in 1987 but the style reads as if it was translated in the first half of the 20th century by a scholar researching the 'Far East'. Nevertheless it remains a readable introduction to a major Buddhist text.
