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

Once upon a time, there was a young monk named Tenzin who lived in a monastery high in the mountains. Tenzin was a diligent student, and he spent many hours each day in meditation, trying to understand the nature of reality and the path to enlightenment.

One day, while Tenzin was meditating in a quiet corner of the monastery, he had a profound realization. Suddenly, he understood the true nature of reality and experienced a deep sense of liberation and freedom.

From that moment on, Tenzin dedicated himself to the cultivation of enlightenment, and he began to develop a range of qualities that were associated with this state. He became imbued with immeasurable compassion, feeling a deep and genuine concern for the welfare of all beings, and he spoke with unlimited eloquence, expressing the truth of reality in a way that was clear, inspiring, and transformative.

Tenzin also developed a sense of great power and fearlessness, as he realized that all forms of craving, attachment, and aversion were simply illusions that could be transcended. He was able to sustain a deep concentration and mental clarity, and he experienced profound states of samadhis and emancipation, where he was completely liberated from all forms of suffering.

As Tenzin continued to cultivate these states, he also developed a profound sense of wisdom, clarity, and equanimity. He began to see the world with new eyes, recognizing the interconnectedness and impermanence of all phenomena. He was able to remain calm and balanced in the face of life’s challenges, and he was filled with a deep sense of joy and peace.

In the end, Tenzin had deeply entered the boundless and awakened to the Law never before attained. He had achieved the state of enlightenment, and he became known as a great teacher and guide to others who sought to follow the path. His example inspired many to cultivate the qualities of immeasurable compassion, unlimited eloquence, power, fearlessness, concentration, emancipation, and samadhis, and to develop the wisdom, clarity, and equanimity that are the hallmarks of the enlightened mind.
