Stay In The Light : A Guide To The Practice of Lotus Sutra
I have been in the light of the Lotus Sutra for the past thirty years. And through This supreme sutra. I believe that I have finally found the answers I was searching for.
These answers came to me as inspirations when I continued to follow the Lotus Sutra and faithfully practice chanting. I began to realize the far-reaching significance of this wonderful and eloquent Sutra and after many years of chanting I have no doubt that this is the salvation that I was searching for. I feel that I have found the compass to lead me in the proper direction.
I was able to justify these answers to my inquiring mind. I am presenting this book to you, as an introduction to this wonderful and eloquent sutra. I have written this book using the insight I received by practicing the "profound Lotus Sutra", which is very simple to practice, irrespective of the capacity of your mind. The views contained in this book are not given as concrete facts, but as a basis to form your own individual judgment.
I believe that one unique power influences us all and that
it is common to all living beings and is shared by the whole world, thereby
uniting us all in soul and spirit. Every religion helps us reach this universal
power through its teachings in different ways. To me the Lotus Sutra is the
quickest method of tapping this universal power.
I hope that this book could provide some insight for your analytical mind.
