Features: This book is based on the renowned Prajna theory of Mahayana Buddhism, a compendium of Mahayana thought, and contains many extremely important Buddhist doctrines. It provides a macroscopic grasp and organization of various Buddhist teachings in circulation, believing that for a long time, Shakyamuni Buddha has expounded various Dharma meanings through various skillful means. However, all teachings ultimately return to one point—to explain the ultimate goal of Mahayana, which is the Buddha Vehicle. The text divides the entire teachings of the Buddha into three vehicles, emphasizing particularly the unity of the "Three Vehicles," in order to harmonize the doctrines of both Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. In explaining the process of "uniting the three and returning to one," it extensively elaborates on Mahayana teachings, including the theory of the true nature of all phenomena being neither ultimately real nor ultimately unreal, the theory of non-attachment and free and easy conduct, as well as the thought that everyone can become a Buddha. The Plain Language Lotus Sutra is one of the Buddhist cultural essence series published by Sanchuan Publishing House. The author has translated, annotated, and explained the Lotus Sutra word by word to facilitate the reading and collection of the text by a wide range of scholars and Buddhist scripture enthusiasts.
