Thank you for this. I have not read the whole of Lotus Sutra yet, I have read only 3 parables out of the lot: The children in the Burning house, The Return Journey, and the Stitched Jewel. All of these brought a lot of healing, and I am still returning to them now and then. I know that there are more goodies and gems awaiting me, but I tend to cry when I read something new from the Lotus Sutra, primarily because of the tenderness that the Buddha has. So I take it slowly but surely.
