The Lotus Stra (Sanskrit: Saddharma Puarka Stra, lit. 'Stra on the White Lotus of the True Dharma') is one of the most influential and venerated Buddhist Mahyna stras. It is the main scripture on which the Tiantai, Tendai, Cheontae, and Nichiren schools of Buddhism were established. It is also influential for other East Asian Buddhist schools, such as Zen. According to the British Buddhologist Paul Williams, 'For many Buddhists in East Asia since early times, the Lotus Stra contains the final teaching of Shakyamuni Buddhacomplete and sufficient for salvation. ' The American Buddhologist Donald S. Lopez Jr. writes that the Lotus Stra 'is arguably the most famous of all Buddhist texts, ' presenting 'a radical re-vision of both the Buddhist path and of the person of the Buddha. 'Two central teachings of the Lotus Stra have been very influential for Mahyna Buddhism. The first is the doctrine of the One Vehicle, which says that all Buddhist paths and practices lead to Buddhahood and so they are all merely 'skillful means' (upay) of reaching Buddhahood. The second is the idea that the lifespan of the Buddha is immeasurable and that therefore, he did not really pass on into final Nirvana (he only appeared to do so as upay), but is still active teaching the Dharma. Title The earliest known Sanskrit title for the stra is the Saddharma Puarka Stra, which can be translated as 'the Scripture of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma' or 'The Discourse on the White Lotus of the True Doctrine. ' In English, the shortened form Lotus Stra is more common. Translations of this title into Asian languages include the following:Chinese: , pinyin: Miof Linhu jng (shortened to , Fhu jng). This is the title of Kumarajiva's Chinese translation.
