Chapter IV: Part 4

[4] “_Fa-Hien_ stayed at the dragon Vihara till after the summer
retreat, and then, travelling to the south-east for seven Yojanas,
he arrived at the city of Kanyakubja, lying along the Ganges....
At a distance from the city of six or seven _Le_, on the west, on
the northern bank of the Ganges, is a place where Buddha preached
the Law to his disciples. It has been handed down that his
subjects of discourse were such as ‘The bitterness and vanity (of
life), as impermanent and uncertain,’ and that ‘The body is as a
“bubble” or foam on the water.’”—_Travels of Fa-Hien_. Legge.

[5] “Thus spake the Bhagavat enraptured; the elder Subhuti, and
the friars, nuns, the faithful lay men and women, and the
Bodhisattvas also, and the whole world of gods, men, evil spirits
and fairies, praised the preaching of the Bhagavat.”—_The
Vagrakkhedika_. Max Müller.

[6] “The vow of ‘obedience’ was never taken by the Buddhist monks
and nuns, and in this it may be noticed a fundamental difference
between them and monastic orders in the West: mental culture, not
mental death, was the aim set before the Buddhist ascetic by the
founder of his faith.”—_Buddhism_. T. W. Rhys Davids.

“_As when men, travelling, feel a glorious perfume sweet
Pervading all the country side, and gladdening them, infer at once,
‘Surely ’tis giant forest trees are flowering now!’
So, conscious of this perfume sweet of righteousness
That now pervades the earth and heavens, they may infer:
‘A Buddha, infinitely great, must once have lived!’_”
