(While reading this article an owl hooted outside my window only once)
didnt read all lf it, but this part was pretty good:
" The Buddha then reveals that the three vehicles (yānas) are really just skillful means, and that they are in reality the One Vehicle (ekayāna).[44] He says that the ultimate purpose of the Buddhas is to cause sentient beings “to obtain the insight of the Buddha” and “to enter the way into the insight of the Buddha.”[49][50][51]
The Buddha also states the various benefits for those who preserve the sutra, and that those who perform even the simplest forms of devotion will eventually reach Buddhahood. The Buddha also states that those who reject and insult the Lotus Sūtra (and those who teach it) will be reborn in hell.[44]
Chapter 3: The Parable of the Burning House
The Buddha prophecies that in a future eon (kalpa) Śāriputra will become a Buddha called Padmaprabha. Śāriputra is happy to have heard this new teaching, but says that some in the assembly are confused.[44] The Buddha responds with the parable of the burning house, in which a father (symbolizing the Buddha) uses the promise of various toy carts to get his children (sentient beings) out of a burning house (symbolizing samsara).[52] Once they are outside, he gives them all one large cart to travel in instead. This symbolizes how the Buddha uses the three vehicles, as skillful means to liberate all beings – even though there is only one single vehicle to Buddhahood, i.e. the Mahāyāna. The sutra emphasizes that this is not a lie, but a compassionate salvific act.[53][54][44]"
@Bianca_Aga Vulture peak mentioned in Chapter 1:
" Chapter 1[edit]
During a gathering at Vulture Peak, Shakyamuni Buddha goes into a state of deep meditative absorption (samadhi), the earth shakes in six ways, and he brings forth a ray of light from the tuft of hair in between his eyebrows (ūrṇākośa) which illuminates thousands of buddha-fields in the east.[note 2][40][41]Maitreya wonders what this means, and the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī states that he has seen this miracle long ago when he was a student of the Buddha Candrasūryapradīpa. He then says that the Buddha is about to expound his ultimate teaching, The White Lotus of the Good Dharma.[42][43][44] In fact, Mañjuśrī says this sutra was taught by other Buddhas innumerable times in the past.[45]"

" The dragon king’s daughter offers her priceless pearl to the Buddha. The narrative of her instantaneous attainment of Buddhahood was understood as a promise of the enlightenment of women.[16]Frontispiece of a 12th century Lotus Sutra handscroll."
" The idea that the physical death of a Buddha is the termination of their life is graphically refuted by the appearance of another Buddha, Prabhūtaratna, who has taught the Lotus countless aeons ago. The Lotus Sūtra indicates that not only can multiple Buddhas exist in the same time and place (which contrasts with earlier Indian views), but that there are countless streams of Buddhas extending throughout all of space and through unquantifiable eons of time. The Lotus Sūtraillustrates a sense of timelessness and the inconceivable, often using large numbers and measurements of space and time.[9][33]
Jacqueline Stone writes that the Lotus Sūtra affirms the view that the Buddha constantly abides in our present world. As the Lotus states in chapter 16, the Buddha remains “constantly dwelling in this Sahā world sphere, preaching the dharma, teaching and converting.”[34]According to Stone, the sūtra has also been interpreted as promoting the idea that the Buddha’s realm (buddhakṣetra) “is in some sense immanent in the present world, although radically different from our ordinary experience of being free from decay, danger and suffering.”"
