The Lotus Sutra


The Sixth Patriarch said, "The Lotus Sutra isn't that complicated. Its seven folios contain nothing but lessons in metaphor. The reason the Tathagata [the Buddha] expanded his explanation to include the Three Vehicles was simply because people are slow to understand. But the sutra makes it clear that there is no other vehicle than the One Buddha Vehicle.
