Japanese convert to Christianity gavo
Miss Bickersteth some curious details regard
Ing the present popular teachings OF Japanese
priests concerning tho future world. Para
disc is described by thom in four ways: First.
the philosophical IDEAL which. OF course. is no
paradise at all but tho nirrana OF Indian Buddh-
ism; second tho popular ideal. 0okdyrihu, In
which poverty. death. tears separation. ILL
ness. and old ago will be unknown: third. tho
paradise worlds OF transmigraton. in which
world succeeds world. beginning with tho
present ono. According to this form Of belief.
husband and wife will remain such for three
worlds. the relation Of master and servant will
endure for seven worlds. &c. All special re-
latlonships will then cease. and individuality
will alone subsist. The fourth conception is q
variation Of tho transmigration scheme. which
contemplates seven paradise worlds succeed
ing each other ns effect succeeds cause. but
entirely unconncctod with this earth. This
paradise having no relation to the present
world. and Offering no solution OF tho variod
gifts and unequal happiness OF man. Is not
open to all human beings. and Is tho subject OF
relatively esoteric teachings. Tho Buddhist
priests. indeed. continually vary their doc
trines according to their audience. The m ore
popular tenets are found useful for n crowd OF
old women in temple. while nirvana Is
reserved for the intelligent inquirer seeking
private instruction
