History & Criticism

Kosei Publishing Co

This concise, readily understandable book is designed as a guide to one of the supreme scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism: the Threefold Lotus Sutra. The first publication of the complete sutra in English (Kosei, 1975) was widely acclaimed, and an ever-growing audience has been created for what is certainly among the greatest of the world's religious documents. Like the Bible and the Koran, however, the Threefold Lotus Sutra requires explanation by a gifted teacher, and it is for this reason that Niwano has written this guide. Giving careful consideration to the relationships among the thirty-two chapters of the sutra, he not only outlines the contents but also explains the major points.

Dr. Mori explores Buddhism through his perspective as a robot engineer. He even postulates that robots have the buddha-nature. He confronts Buddhist themes such as the notion of ego as if they were engineering problems and comes to surprisingly clear resolutions. Along the way, he poses many interesting questions that perhaps only a robot engineer would think of. Why do we have two nostrils -- not just one? Why don't we have "earlids" similar to eyelids? His inquiries are highly engaging.

A Guide to the Threefold Lotus Sutra

From the backcover: What is a meaningful life? How can it be achieved? This valuable book, written by a man who has attained true fulfillment, answers these questions and many others for those who are seeking guidance. "Life can have no greater meaning than to enable you to say, 'Today I have added something good to my eternal life,' he writes. "The goal of our eternal voyage of self-improvement is perfect liberty." His topics cover all fields of human endeavor: the home and family relationships, child rearing, education, work, leisure, activities for old people, and religion. He offers eminently practical advice on mental nourishment, self-sacrifice in a selfish age, and survival amidst the cultural profusion of our time. His book is a truly refreshing source of wisdom for living in the complex world of today.
