Catholic View of Buddha.
From the Catholic Review


Buddha, the founder of the system that
bears his name, was born between JOO
and 600 b. c. He was the son of one of
the rajahs of a small principality in
India, and was trained in all the lore
of Brahminism. the religion of his time.
He married. but in a brief while wearied
of the life Of the court. and retired into
the desert and spent some years leading
a life of austere penance and mortifica-
ton. and afterwards many more in pro-
longed meditations. During this latter
time he believed he had discovered the
key to all the riddles of life. and thence
forth spent his life in propngating those
principles, which he believed would bring
peace to the troubled souls OF men. His
fervor and eloquence- quickly gained him
many disciples. and when he died his
doctrines had already been widely spread
among the people of India.
To speak briefly, his system is one of
pessimism. With him all existence brings
sorrow: sorrow springs from desire;
therefore. cease from desire, and you will
cease from sorrow. He taught that II is
desire which leads from birth to birth
Chat is, the doctrine Of reincarnation).
and the great ideal set before US by him
was to escape rebirth by the extinction
of desire. or. rather. reabsorption into
the absolute Wheeler there remains any
consciousness after this absorption Bud
