Lotus Sutra Chapter I – Part 1 – Dharma Talk in English and French – Video – May 10, 2020

In this Dharma talk I talk about a portion of one paragraph from Chapter I – Introduction – Lotus Sutra. The particular paragraph is the fourth one from the beginning as written in English. There is French interpretation for the entire lecture and the location is provided in French at the beginning.

This talk covers two ways of considering the beam of light or the illumination the Buddha provides to 18,000 other worlds. There is a physical as well as metaphorical understanding of Illumination.

The talk also talks about the Four Lowe Realms and how we need proper illumination to fully grasp what we are being influenced by and how to understand our situation.This is only the first part of my entire presentation on this one paragraph. Subsequent portions will be given on following Sundays.

This video is uploaded as a Premier video which means several people can watch simultaneously from different locations and make comments to each other in real time.  This is a new feature so I’m not sure how it works out or if it will be of value, however there is not additional cost to the temple to do this.
