After attaining Buddhahood at the age of thirty, Shakyamuni spent the next forty-two years preaching the FlowerGarland (Jp. Kegon), Agama (Jp. Agon), Expansion (Jp. Hodo) and Wisdom (Jp. Hannya) Sutras. However, the Buddha taught these sutras only as a means of expanding people’s aptitudes, so that they would be able to benefit from his true teaching. Then, at age seventy-two, Shakyamuni spent the next eight years teaching the Lotus Sutra at Eagle Peak, in the kingdom of Magadha. The Lotus Sutra was the Buddha’s true teaching and the ultimate reason for his birth. Shakyamuni’s Passing, The Buddha Enters Nirvana |
