CHINESE VENERATE
GODDESS OF MERCY
Mecca of Buddists Is Described to
Geographic Society by
Educator.

The Mecca of Chinese Buddists
the sacred Island of Puto, off the
coast of China near Shanghai, was
described by DR.. Robert f. Fitch
president elect of Hangchow College
before the National Geographic So
ciety at the New Masonic Temple
Friday.
so closely do the priests of Puto
cling to the principles of the Goddess
of Mercy, to whom the island is par
ticularly dedicated, that many carry
short brooms to sweep the walk be-
fore them that they may not step on
insects" declared DIR. Fitch.
Though the island is small. yet it
IS seldom that it is not inhabited by
1000 holy men. Pilgrims try to come
for the birthday of the goddess. For
their convenience, she has three
birthdays a year.
"The goddess a Buddhist deity, is
further venerated by the inhabitants
by their refusal to eat meat or flesh
of any kind. The excellent cooks in
the monasteries. however, initiate
chicken and ham and other meats so
closely that one can scarcely tell
they are not the real thing until one
eats and finds them of vegetable
content.
This practice brought about a
serious difficulty a few months before
my visit. The Chief Lama of Urga.
who is one of the three living Bud
dhas, came on a pilgrimage. He was
accustomed 90 cat meat, and even
had number of wives. AS a living
Buddha he Outranked all the priests
ON the island. The difficulty was
finally compromised by the Urga
visitor fasting during the whole
time of his stay"
