The Lotus Sutra has been called perhaps the most famous of Buddhist historical texts and the most important sutra.
It has also been called the most widely read and most revered scripture in East Asia since its translation in the 3rd century and the king of the scriptures.

The Chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra is The Bodhisattva Avalokitevara (The Universal Door of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva) - This chapter is devoted to Avalokitevara, describing him as a compassionate bodhisattva who hears the cries of sentient beings, and rescues those who call upon his name.,
