Buddhism, we are told with some show of
exultati0n in the religious newspapers, is to be
suppressed in Japan, the temples of the faith
are to revert to the Government, and its priests
turned into soldiers or laborers. The most
impOrtant question is, what is Japan to have
TO supply the place of the prohibited faith
Not Christianity, for this REFORM as it is called,
Is not G.ade as we understand, in the interests
of Christianity at all. Any native religion
which may succeed to it, for instance Taouism.
Is probably more materialistic than Buddhism
proper; for this, whatever may be its corrup-
tons In Japan, is essentially ideal, denying the
world OF the senses as unreal; and its mythol-
ogy is one of persOnifed ideas. The Buddhist
worship is homage rendered to ideas, useful as
discipline, and it is supposed to be only reflex
in its effects. For this in its influence upon
the Japanese, putting Christianity out of the
question, only a merely moral or a merely
material faith can be substituted ; and what the
actual gain of the change may be is simply
cOnjectural. There is no evidence that the
political authorities would not be equally jeal-
Gus of Christianity if, through the number Of
its converts, it should become important.
Unquestionably the Buddhism of Japan is in a
condition of monkish degeneracy, with an
overgrown, indolent, and sensual priesthood
fond OF temporal power, and thus obnoxious tC
the refOrmerS. But those who suppose thai
these, in consequence of their hostility to the
ancient faith, will become Baptists or Congre
: gatiOnalists or EpiscOpalians, are reckoning
we suspect, rather loosely.
