The Saddharma-Pundarika

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Saddharma-Pundarika (1884) translated by H. Kern, is Volume XXI of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This text, also known as the Lotus Sutra, consists of the final teachings of Buddha and is one of the most influential of the Mahayana sutras. This book is for readers interested in deepening their knowledge of Buddhism.
