Eternal Buddha
In East Asian Buddhism the Buddha of the Lotus Sutra is regarded as the eternal Buddha. It is a popular notion, which may have contributed to the tathagatagarbha doctrine, although the notion of an ''eternal Buddha'' is not explicitly stated in the Lotus Sutra.
==Lotus Sutra and tathagatagarbha doctrine==
In east-Asian Buddhism, the Buddha of the Lotus Sutra is regarded as the eternal Buddha. "The Tathagata´s Lifespan" chapter (ch 16) of the Lotus Sutra portrays the Buddha as indicating that he became awakened countless aeons ("kalpas") ago. The sutra itself, however, does not directly employ the phrase "eternal Buddha".
In China the ''Lotus Sutra'' was associated with the ''Mahaparinirvana Sutra'', which propagates the tathagatagarbha-doctrine, and with the ''Awakening of Faith''. The Mahaparinirvana Sutra presents the Buddha as eternal, and equates him with the Dharmakaya.
The ''Lotus Sutra'' itself does hardly seem to accept the tathagatagarbha-teachings. According to Paul Williams, this association may be explained by the systematization of the ''Lotus Sutra'' teachings by the Tiantai school, using teachings from other schools "to equate the Buddha of the ''Lotus Sutra'' with the ultimate truth and to teach a cosmic Buddha."
