1. Paper from the Rissho-Kosei-Kai Conference on the Lotus Sutra, Japan, Summer 1997 2. Robert E. Florida, Dean of Arts, Brandon University, email: florida@brandonu.ca
Rissho Kosei Kai organised an international conference on the Lotus Sūtra that was held in Bandaiso, Japan, in July of 1997. Twelve scholars from Europe, North America and Japan met together for three days in a pleasant retreat centre to discuss various issues and themes in the Lotus Sūtra. Five of the papers, those by Robert Florida, Damien Keown, John R.A.Mayer, Peggy Morgan, and Gene Reeves, seemed to fit nicely into the mandate of the Journal of Buddhist Ethics, and they are being presented here together.
