BUDDHISM AND cHRIsEIANIrY.
wins is Thought of this Oriental Religion.
Its Beauty and Consistency.

VIII at is Thought of this Oriental Religion.
Its Beauty and Consistency.
From the Omaha HERALD: II know
nothing about the subtleties OF the Budd-
hist religion" said lady the other day, in
speaking Of her six years. residencein China.
II was too busy teaching the Christian re-
ligion to investigate that Of Buddha. but I
certainly did not think it could be alto
gether admirable, when the worst punish.
ment that could be inflicted upon man
was to convert him in the process Of trans
migration into woman"
Yet, in spite OF this fact, women in larger
numbers than men, are espousing the orien.
tai philosophy in the cities of the United
States. They evidently place NO conf.
dence in the biblical maxim that q tree is
known by it's fruit. They have confidence
that religion which degrades their sex and
does not prevent it's followers from living
in a state OF the most disgusting filth is
still beautiful, elevating and humanizing.
To be sure, the theories OF Buddhism as
they are embodied in what is commonly
known as the esoterics of the belief, have
been adapted to occidental needs. But
even then, as experience has shown, the
effect is to unsettle the brain, and produce
a general unftness for life amid this civili-
zation. That, Of course, may be the fault
of this civilization, but it certainly con-
trasts we'll with the civilization Of India,
China and Japan.
The Buddhist religion makes demands
upon the credibility as great as does the
Christian creed, but it has in it's elabora-
tion q beauty and consistency which ap-
peals to the artistic temperament, and in
this fact lies the reason that so many
Americans Of exceptional intelligence have
adopted it.
II the encroachments OF foreign philoso.
ply would be fought against, it must be by
the women, who teach the young and who
have it in their power to surround our
beliefs with the delicacy and
charm that finer natures must have in the
religion that shall crafty the hunger OF
their souls.
