The Buddha, we are told, was
given offerings of food by two
merchants. These offerings were
made shortly after he became
the Enlightened One, while seat
ed beneath a bo tree. The mer-
chants became his first disciples,
or followers.
We ask what wisdom came to
the Buddha, and are told that
he learned the way of life. Here
are a few Of the things he said.
The secret of the good life
is never to want things. Happy
is he who can see the truth.
Happy is he who guides himself,
and always is under his own
control. Happy is he who car
ries good will in his heart, who
can go alone with the feeling
that he is glad to be himself"
It may be that the Buddha
went alone, in a sense of the
word, but people gathered
around him. Several Hindu
monks joined his disciples, also
other men, rich and poor, young
and old.
Going to his fathers palace,
he preached his way of life.
His father moaned in his heart
to think of his son going about
without money, but his foster
mother begged to join him, as
did his wife.
The Buddha was hardly will
ing to let women become men,
t,e:s OF his holy order, but at
LIST agreed to do so if they
wcula lVomiSe to obey eight
sySSciMl rules which he laid down
fU8 them.
Speaking about the JOY of
life, which should be present
for every one, the Buddha walked
far and wide in India. He said:

happily In this world. He who

cross the sea of life and make
an end to sorrow"
After reaching the age Of 80
years, the Buddha felt sickness
falling on him, but he shook free
of it for a time and called his
disciples to him, saying:
cat the end of three months,
I must die and leave you. Be
earnest, and keep your resolves.
Spread the truths which have
taught you."

after him.

WASHINGTON. d. C, Jan. 10
tJACL ADC)-While denouncing
virtually every section of the Immi-
grafton and Nationality Act of 1852
the report of the Presidents Com
mission on immigration and Natu-
ralization unqualifiedly endorsed
the enactment of equality in natur-
ali2ation and the repeal of the ORR
entail Exclusion Acts, the two provi-
sions consistently urged by the ia
CT ADO
Noting that newspaper stories on
the report of the Presidents Com
mission have featured exclusively
the negative comments of the com
mission on the Walter McCarran
Act, the Washington office of the
JACL Ado called attention to the
lesser publicized sections of the re
port, which acknowledged the i'm
provements established by the I'M
migration and Nationality Act of
1852.
In the chapter headed "Immi-
grafton and Our Foreign Policy,
the report specifically cites the
costly i'll will which stemmed from
the japanese exclusion clause of the
1924 immigration Act. The commits
sion was assured by responsible ex-
perts, comments the report. that the
japanese Exclusion Act contributed
to the growth of the natiOnalistic,
movement in Japan, eliminating in
war against the United States.
The report states: The repeal of
Japanese exclusion in 1852 further
demonstrated a growing American
realization that immigration policy
can be a positive as we'll as mega
tive factor in foreign policy"
The Presidents Commission holds
however, that the immigration
needs of Asia are quite distinct from
those of Europe.
The report states: The problems
of overpopulation and refugees in
Asia are of vital importance to world
peace Their solution. however,
cannot-as it can in Europe find
major relief Through migration"
