Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

Buddha’s wisdom flows,
In parable and history,
Path to nirvana’s door.

Great Astuteness shines,
With sixteen sons, enlightenment,
Law wheel turns in peace.

Brahma kings inquire,
Of radiant abode’s light,
Sage’s teachings unfold.

Sixteen princes learn,
Lotus Sutra’s secrets, too,
Each a Buddha now.

Imaginary city,
A resting place in journey,
True nirvana waits.

Shakyamuni speaks,
Poetic stanzas of truth,
Path to Buddhahood.

Lotus Sutra’s way,
Guide to enlightenment, peace,
Recapitulated.
