Buddhism Day by Day: The Heart of the Buddha’s Lifetime of Teachings is the Lotus Sutra, “Never Disparaging”
“The heart of the Buddha’s lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the ‘Never Disparaging’ chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging’s profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in the world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lords of teachings, lies in his behavior as human being.”
