How to Read the Lotus Sutra
Our guests are two of the foremost scholars in Buddhist studies, Donald Lopez, Jr. and Jacqueline Stone. They have written a chapter-by-chapter guide to the Lotus Sutra called Two Buddhas Seated Side by Side: A Guide to the Lotus Sutra (October 2019, Princeton University Press).
