#lotus sutra
A core text of Mahāyāna Buddhism, the Lotus Sūtra introduces the single vehicle upon which all beings ride to awakening. No one is excluded or left behind.
Its parable of the herbs depicts a majestic range of plants receiving the same medicinal rain, according to their diverse needs.
Such a story offers insights into how to craft an inclusive path of regenerative remedies for social and ecological ills. May all receive the reprieve offered by rain.

As the planet erupts in flames, most turn away from reality, distracted by shiny objects offering the illusion of comfort. Our house is on fire, much like a scene from the Lotus Sūtra, a transitional Buddhist text full of ecological parables.

Announcement
It’s time for a little Bukkyō-kōden [仏教公伝]!
I recently became a Gakuryo [学侶] of Fujidaiseki Temple [富士大石寺] in Shin-yokohama [新横浜] which is a class of Buddhist monk who dedicate most of their time studying the Lotus Sūtra or Hokekyō [法華経] in Japanese.
I made an account on Twitter and Tumblr where I blog Buddhist parables as well as verses from Lotus Sūtra both in English and Japanese.
So, please consider following! And I just want to ask one small favor, please include the prayer “Namu-myōhō-rengekyō” [南無妙法蓮華経] in the comment or when reblogging/retweeting. That would help me greatly by allowing the Dharma to reach wider audiences so that many more people can receive great amounts of blessings and compassion via the Lotus Sūtra.
Thank you in advance !
