The Drama of Cosmic Enlightenment: Parables, Myths and Symbols of the White Lotus Sutra

The Drama of Cosmic Enlightenment: Parables, Myths and Symbols of the White Lotus Sutra

by Sangharakshita (Author), Varaprabha (Illustrator)

Synopsis

An image or story can mysteriously convey a sense of truth that the most convincing intellectual argument cannot. In the White Lotus Sutra, bursting with symbols, imagery and myths, we meet the Buddha as a story-teller. Indeed, this sutra tells the greatest of all stories, that of human life and human potential. This great story takes the cosmos as its stage and all sentient beings as its players, yet within it lie many tales that address aspects of our lives or personalities. This delightfully illustrated commentary on one of the most influential, revered and well-loved Buddhist scriptures brings these stories vividly to life and shows how they relate to our own spiritual quest.
