Lotus Sutra Stories is an independent, non-commercial, freely accessible Buddhist literature project presenting historical accounts of upholding and reciting the Lotus Sutra, particularly from the Fahua jing xianying lu and Fahua jing chiyan ji. We distinguish primary texts, modern Traditional Chinese explanations, English translations, and editorial reflections. Miraculous events are presented as accounts recorded in religious literature, not as independently established scientific or historical facts or guarantees of particular worldly or rebirth outcomes.
