The article focuses on the book "Buddhist China," by Reginald Fleming Johnston. A reader familiar with the literature on China published since the Opium War notices an endeavor within recent years to interpret the spiritual side of Chinese life with tolerance for all forms of religious expression. Johnston, a student of Buddhism, who recognizes its present as well as its past hold upon the people of China, goes further than this. He is desirous of convincing his countrymen that "even if Buddhism collapses as a religious system, it may still continue to wield an immense though perhaps impalpable influence over Chinese thought.
