Specificatii
The Lotus Sutra is arguably the most famous of all Buddhist
scriptures. Composed in India in the first centuries of the Common
Era, it is renowned for its inspiring message that all beings are
destined for supreme enlightenment. Here, Donald Lopez provides an
engaging and accessible biography of this enduring classic.Lopez
traces the many roles the Lotus Sutra has played in its travels
through Asia, Europe, and across the seas to America. The story
begins in India, where it was one of the early Mahayana sutras,
which sought to redefine the Buddhist path. In the centuries that
followed, the text would have a profound influence in China and
Japan, and would go on to play a central role in the European
discovery of Buddhism. It was the first Buddhist sutra to be
translated from Sanskrit into a Western language--into French in
1844 by the eminent scholar Eugene Burnouf. That same year,
portions of the Lotus Sutra appeared in English in The Dial, the
journal of New England's Transcendentalists. Lopez provides a
balanced account of the many controversies surrounding the text and
its teachings, and describes how the book has helped to shape the
popular image of the Buddha today. He explores how it was read by
major literary figures such as Henry David Thoreau and Gustave
Flaubert, and how it was used to justify self-immolation in China
and political extremism in Japan.Concise and authoritative, this is
the essential introduction to the life and afterlife of a timeless
masterpiece.
