The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-17851-1 (ISBN)
The Lotus Sutra is one of the most important sutras in Mahayana Buddhism. Translated by Kumarajiva in the 5th century, its teachings have inspired many Buddhist scholars such as Chih-i and Saich from the Tiantai (Tendai) tradition, D gen from the Zen tradition and Nichiren the 13th century Kamakura founder and reformer. There is a relative lack of scholarly works that are devoted to an examination of how its philosophical ideas were received and developed throughout history. This book remedies that lack by tracing the origin and development of Lotus Sutra thought, and interprets the text from the perspective of the doctrine of Buddha-nature in Mahayana Buddhism.
Tony See is Assistant Professor in the Buddhist College of Singapore (BCS) and teaches World Religions and Comparative East-West Philosophy at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He is the author of Deleuze and Buddhism (Palgrave, 2016).
