Sinopsis

Stories are ancient and wondrous tools with the mysterious power to transform lives. And the stories and parables of the Lotus Sutra-one of the world's great religious scriptures and most influential texts-are among the most fascinating and dramatic.

In this fun, engaging, and plain-English book, Gene Reeves-the translator of Wisdom's critically acclaimed and bestselling edition of the Lotus Sutra-presents the most memorable and remarkable of the Lotus Sutra's many stories and parables, along with a distillation of his decades of reflection on them in an accessible, inspiring, and naturally illuminating way.

The Stories of the Lotus Sutra is the perfect companion to Reeve's breathtaking translation of this scriptural masterpiece as well as a thoroughly enjoyable stand-alone volume for those who want to bring the inspiring teachings of the bodhisattva path into their daily lives.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

RKUK has come to London to share the true spirit of Shakyamuni Buddha. The precious and ancient scriptures of the Lotus Sutra are our guiding light. We are usually referred to as Nichiren Buddhism. Rissho Kosei-kai (RK) is a global Buddhist movement of people who hope to manifest the Buddha?s teachings in our own lives, applying them in our homes, workplaces and local communities ? working towards a more peaceful world. We join hands with the followers of all faiths and none, and with people from all walks of life to take part in peace activities at home and around the world. RK was founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1938, and its representative body, Rissho Kosei-kai of the UK (RKUK), in Oxford in 1998. Since 2020, RKUK has opened its London Buddhist Centre.
