HI!
Thank you for a place to explore/discuss the Lotus Sutra!
I am a practicing Buddhist in the south U.S.
Raised non-denominational Christian (like most young in the U.S.), I became disillusioned with Christian faith when in mid teen years. I went to school for Theology/Religion, reading any/all sacred texts I could. Experiencing Sakyamuni Buddha's teaching was/is wonderful light, illuminating the mysteries of all religions and faiths. I followed and studied the Pali Texts (Tipitika) for many years before finding the Saddharma Pundirika Sutra (White Lotus). Through study, contemplation and meditation; a wonderful spiritual perspective awoke in me.
I walk in devotion and thanks to the Buddha Sakyamuni, the Eternal Buddha. I love love love the Lotus Sutra and will observe/expound its teachings with all who are willing
With sincere devotion, I observe the Real Truth (Dharma) of the universe as it is. The flowering of enlightenment energy (Bodhicitta) that is the teaching.
