Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Lotus Sūtra makes extraordinary promises: that those who receive and keep this teaching will be protected by bodhisattvas, guarded by heavenly kings, surrounded by the assembled power of the dharma itself. Most modern readers either take these promises literally and feel uncertain, or dismiss them as mythological decoration around the "real" teaching.Protection as Bloom takes a third path. Drawing on Zhiyi's analysis of the protection chapters and the living tradition of Lotus Sūtra practice, it shows how the sutra's protection apparatus functions-not as supernatural insurance, but as the natural consequence of alignment with the dharma body. The bloom is the protection. The protection is the bloom.Volume 2 of The Lotus Sutra for the Modern Reader.
