To be turned by the
Lotus Sutra means to read it literally, or in an intellectual or dualistic way:
"I read the Lotus Sutra." To turn it means the Lotus Sutra turns the
Lotus Sutra, like the Shingon understanding of the Bodhisattva or Tathagata of
the Diamond Sutra giving the teaching to himself. That is how we turn the Lotus
Sutra. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-E as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
