Lotus Sutra
The Lotus Sutra is probably the most important text of Mahayana Buddhism. It describes a lecture the Buddha gave and the ideas and thoughts. He discusses all the things that differentiate
Mahayana Buddhism from
Theravada , such as the idea of a
bodhisattva , in particular the bodhisattva
Avalokiteshvara , the merit of the people who venerate the Lotus Sutra, and the key to
nirvana and Buddhahood.
