The Lotus Sūtra (Sanskrit: Saddharma Pundarika Sutra,
literally "Sūtra on the White Lotus of the Sublime Dharma")
is one of the most popular and influential Mahayana sutras, and the basis on which the Tiantai, Tendai, Cheontae, and Nichiren schools of Buddhism were established.
According to British professor Paul Williams,
"For many East Asian Buddhists since early times, the Lotus Sutra contains the final teaching of the Buddha, complete and sufficient for salvation."
