Comfortable Conduct for Bad Times

Chapter 14 of the Lotus Sutra, “Comfortable Conduct,” also a later addition, still bears traces of the deep-seated attitude of discrimination against women and others. For this reason, it is not as outstanding as other chapters in the Sutra. But it offers a teaching on how to carry out the work of a bodhisattva in times when there are fewer opportunities to hear and practice the Dharma and there is a lot of suffering in the world.
