The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the main scripture on which the Chinese Tiantai and its derivative schools, the Japanese Tendai and Nichiren, Korean Cheontae, and Vietnamese Thiên Thai schools of Buddhism, were established.
- It has also influenced other East Asian Buddhist schools, such as Chan and Zen.
- According to the British Buddhologist Paul Williams, "For many Buddhists in East Asia since early times, the Lotus Sūtra contains the final teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha, complete and sufficient for salvation." The American Buddhologist Donald S. Lopez Jr.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lotus Sutra article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get Lotus Sutra
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
