Book Reviews of The Threefold Lotus Sutra
Book Review: A personal guided tour where other translations are roadmaps
Summary: 5 Stars
The jewel of the lotus, the core secrets of true Buddhism, is hidden within innumerable petals, but is not invisible. Yet, it shouldn't be further obscured by poor translation. The Bunno Kato translation of the THREEFOLD LOTUS SUTRA is a laser through fog which illuminates the jewel to those who look for it, read this book and understand with wisdom. Those who come to this book seeking the "what" of Buddhism, will find the "why" and "how" of all existence! They will find the "how to" of creating ethical values in their lives. They will discover the utility of practice, study, faith, behind the sutra's Japaneese language title, NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO. The clarity of the Bunno Kato translation is a manifestation of Buddha Wisdom and Bodhisatva mercy (if unfamiliar with those technical concepts, read the book). In this translation, the profound eloquence of the prose sections educate and inspire; the musical lyrics of the poetry s! ections sing. While, there are noble attempts by others to translate this sutra, they are a tourist's roadmap to this translation's personal guided tour. Delight yourself, borrow the other translations, from your local library. Invest in this book.
