About the Book:- This work is volume XXI of the Sacred Books of the East series. The Saddharma-Pundarika, one of the Mahayana sutras, is perhaps the single most important Mahayana Buddhist work. It was originally composed in India, with some sections written as early as the beginning of the Christian era. The Lotus is held in esteem by the Northern schools of Buddhism and by the Chinese and Japanese Buddhists, particularly Tendai and later developments. Described as the most eminent of all the sutras, the crown jewel in which all Buddha laws are succinctly taught, the Lotus is a keystone in the education of every serious Buddhist. About the author:-Friedrich Max Müller (1823 –1900) was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic disciplines of Indian studies and religious studies ('science of religion', German: Religionswissenschaft). Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. Johan Hendrik Caspar Kern ( 1833 — 1917 ) was a Dutch linguist and orientalist . In the professional literature he is usually referred to as H. Kern or Hendrik Kern; there are some other scientists with the same last name. Kern, together with Herman Neubronner van der Tuuk, is regarded as one of the founders of Eastern studies in the Netherlands. His great interest in languages had already become apparent at grammar school, when he decided to add English and Italian to his curriculum. He displayed an extraordinary ability to study and thoroughly master a wide variety of languages. He also showed his versatility in his cultural studies. His History of Buddhism in India (1881–83) showed that he had a thorough command of the field, although his incomplete understanding of Eastern astrology and mysticism has been criticized. His positivist approach to the material may have been partly to blame for this.
