I'll probably read or listen to the entire Lotus Sutra. I'm especially interested in the commentaries of the text. Below is what I'm consuming so far.
My Sources
The Lotus Sutra translated by Burton Watson: this is a free online version. The translation reads fine. This is where I read the first two chapters. It motivated me to check out the other sources below.
The Lotus Sutra: A Contemporary Translation of a Buddhist Classic translated by Gene Reeves: this is a modern translation. Reeves claims to use as few Sanskrit words and eastern terms as possible. So far I have only read Reeves' introduction. I'll update my opinion after I read some of his translation. I found his background information about the text and history to be very informative and interesting. I'm reading this from my phone on eBook through Libby.
The Lotus Sutra: Saddharma Pundarika Sutra or the Lotus of the True Law translated by Hendrik Kern: I started listening to this translation on Hoopla. It is the only audio version I have access to from my library.
The Lotus Sutra: A Biography by Donald Lopez Jr: I didn't start this yet. But Lopez got me interested in the topic.
