Ah, the Lotus Sutra kids. Not a fan of the sutra as a writing myself, despite my occasional Mahayana leanings, just because it tends to discard...like, most of the older teachings based on the fact that they are old, and according to the sutra, they're unneeded.

From what I've seen, the practice they're with is a very stripped down Buddhism on the whole - there's a belief among the sect that claims all you need to do to accrue good merit is chant the name of the Lotus Sutra over and over. Not really sure how that works, but I've been told it's a focuser.

More power to your friend if it's working for him, but it ain't my personal cup. 3nodding
