Abstract

The Burmese Buddha
May 6, 1880 issue

add to cart   close window

Not merely is the critical student of the science of religion enraptured by Gaudama Buddha's teachings, not only educated men, but even "the fair women of the West are evincing a desire to fathom the secrets of the system propounded by the Indian Prince-Sage." The name of Buddha or Gaudama was scarcely known to the world--that is, the Western world--a few years ago, insomuch that the late Rev. Spence Hardy in the introduction to his work on "Eastern Monachism" complained that it could be found in no encyclopedia or work of reference at the time he wrote. The great secret of the original success of Buddhism, and of its persistent continuance, is that it strikes at the very root of idolatry.
