Japanese Buddhfsts.

japanese Buddhists have word,
"nazoraeru," which is translated by
the dictionaries as "to initiate" but it
has the esoteric meaning of "to sub
stitute in Imagination one object or
action for another, so as to bring about
some magical or miraculous result" An
example of this is laying a pebble be-
fore the image of Buddha to show that
you would like to build temple in
his honor If you were rich enough,
and making a bookcase revolve which
contains the 6,771 volumes of the Bud
dhlst canon and earnestly wishing that
you had time to read them, by which
you acquire the same merit in the
eyes of heaven as II you did read them.
The bookcase is fitted with a kind of

are very tame and can be clubbed by
