On Measuring the Lifespan Of The One Who Has Descended Into This World: (Black & White Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Lotus Sūtra is regarded by many as the most profound teaching of Buddhism. It is certainly one of the great treasures of literature we have inherited from the ancient world. The sixteenth chapter, 'On Measuring the Lifespan of The One Who Has Descended Into This World', is on the eternal nature of enlightenment and its three-fold spiritual life. This book is an in-depth examination of this chapter, including English translations of:
* The chapter itself
* The definitive commentary on it by Zhìyǐ of the Tiāntāi School (天台宗) in his ‘Words & Passages of The Lotus Sūtra’ (C. Fǎhuá Wénjù, J. Hōkke Mongu, 法華文句)
* Commentaries on passages from this chapter from the Nichiren School
* Comprehensive footnotes that offer a background on Buddhist concepts and history relevant to the subject.
There is another edition of this book available with the scripture's text in color.
The author/translator Peter Lunde Johnson has already published a similar treatment of chapter two of this sūtra, 'On Skillfulness in Ways & Means', which serves as a companion piece to this book. He has also published English translations of several other important Buddhist works, such as:
* Xuánzang’s commentary on Vasubandhu’s Thirty Stanzas of Verse About the Virtual Nature of Consciousness (Vijnapti Matratā Siddhi, 成唯識論)
* Shàndǎo’s Commentary in Four Parts Explaining the Sūtra About Meditation on the Buddha of Infinite Life (Amitāyur Dhyāna Sūtra, (觀無量壽佛經疏四帖) and
* Commentaries on the Heart Sūtra by Fǎzang and Kūkai
