The Buddha, The Lotus Sutra & The Ten Worlds

March 16th Intro Ten Worlds

Buddhist Doctrine of the Ten Worlds

The Buddha used the lotus flower as a metaphor to symbolize the mystic Law (Myoho). The lotus plant sends forth its pure white flowers from within a muddy swamp. Using this metaphor, the Buddha demonstrated how Buddhahood and the other nine worlds inherently coexist within our lives.

Join us on Sunday, March 16th, at 2:00 pm for an in-depth explanation of the significance of the Lotus flower to Buddhism, understanding the Ten Worlds and why it is important for your happiness.
