add to cart   close window

The article critically apprises the book "Chinese Buddhism," by Joseph Edkins. The subject of Chinese Buddhism must always be an interesting one, if only on account of the number of people who belong to that section of the Buddhist community. Edkins's long residence in China and his acquaintance with its language, is well able to give much information on the subject. The plan of the book is an excellent one. The author first gives an account of the life of Buddha from the time of his birth till he entered Nirvana.
