The Lotus Prayer Book is an inspiring collection of sacred prayers from various faiths and traditions, gathered together as a testimony to the central teaching of Sri Swami Satchidananda that Truth is One, Paths are Many.

The Lotus Sutra has been regarded for centuries as one of the most important teachings in Mahayana Buddhism. This book goes beyond theory to show how to bring these teachings into practice in daily life. Containing profound truths for all people from every culture, it reveals the secret for attaining happiness for both oneself and others through the process of self-reformation. Based on the teachings of Nichiren, a 13th-century Buddhist teacher and reformer, the scriptures of the Lotus Sutra show how every person can attain Buddhahood.

The lotus flower is a symbol of strength. It grows from the muddy waters and arises at the sunrise, untouched by the darkness and the soil from which is rose. The deeper the mud, the more beautiful the flower grows. It learns life lessons and becomes self-aware. The more resilient we become by growing through our experiences, the more beautiful we turn out to be. These are the spiritual reflections of a lotus turned poet about life, friendship, heartbreak, and love.

As you enter this book with your mind and soul, you can engage your spirit in ancient lotus wisdom touching the heart of eternity.
