April 20, 1882 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion, As Illustrated by Some Points in the History of Indian Buddhism," by T.W. Rhys Davids. The book is an attempt to explain principles of Indian Buddhism and then by a sort of "differentiation" to illustrate the origin of religion or the growth of religion in other cases. Davids, objects to the idea of "prayer offered to Buddha" and speaks of it as an impossibility. Here, again, the Christian idea of "prayer to a personal and living God" has interfered with the conception of other prayer than this prayer in the sense of inspiration in worship.
