Reviews for Two Buddhas Seated Side by Side: A Guide to the Lotus Sūtra

Lopez Jr. and Stone's detailed analysis makes for a welcome, admirable addition to the large repertoire of more general Lotus Sutra studies. * Publishers Weekly * The Lotus Sutra . . . is given a near perfect summary when the authors write that it is a 'sutra that never ends, an assembly that never disperses, and a mission that is ongoing'. ---Nilanjan Bhowmick, Los Angeles Review of Books While scholarly in nature, this work's engaging, thoughtful manner serves its subject well. Essential for readers with academic-level interest in Buddhist studies. * Library Journal *
