Prince Siddartha: the Japanese Buddha 

Prince Siddartha: the Japanese Buddha


This book will set things in their proper proportions before many who might otherwise be misled by the glamour of the Buddhist faith. After perusing these pages no intelligent person can say " One religion is as good as another ";

 The faith of the Buddhist does not differ essentially from the faith of the Christian ";" The morality which Prince Siddartha taught is as good as the morality of Jesus Christ." No one can compare the grotesque account of the birth of Buddha with the noble and dignified story of the birth of Christ to the advantage of the former. ,

 The quarrel of Maya and Kyodomi contrasts most un- favourably with the loving greetings of Mary and Elisa- Beth. The unnatural and priggish sayings and doings of Maya's son seem silly and absurd when compared with the sweet simplicity of Mary's son. And the last days of Prince Siddartha, his misty wisdom and his incomprehensible sayings, are sure to be contrasted by any reader with the dignified and noble death of Him who suffered on the cross to take away the world's sins. 

n fact this book is an excellent foil to the Gospels, as were the Apocryphal books of the Bible when they were bound up by our grandfathers between the covers of their Bibles. As at the recent great Parliament of Religions in Chicago, it was said Morothan, "

 If this is the best thing that false religions have to say for themselves, Christianity need to have no fear," so he who reads this most exciting volume will be sure to rise from his perusal with the feeling: If Buddhism has "nothing better to offer to the world than the life of Prince Siddartha, the religion of Christ need not tremble.
