________________ [Footnote 34 36 1: Compare Kern, the Lotus, III. 21, and Fausböll, P[=a]r[=alyana-sutta, 9 (1131), the "deep and lovely voice of Buddha." (SBE. XXI. 64, and X. 210.)] [Footnote 35: As Southern Buddhists are reckoned those of Ceylon, Burmah, Siam, etc.] [Footnote 36: As Northern Buddhists are reckoned those of Nep[=a]l, Tibet, China, Corea, Japan, Java, Sumatra, Annam, and Cambodia.] [Footnote 37: "Let your light so shine before the world, that you, having embraced the religious life according to so well-taught a doctrine and discipline, may be seen to be forbearing and mild." (SBE. XVII. 305, David's and Oldenberg's translation.)] [Footnote 38: 'Removing pieces from a pile without moving the remainder' must, we presume, be jackstraws.] [Footnote 39: For instance, rules for eating, drinking liquor), and for bathing. The Buddhist monk, except in summer, bathed once a fortnight only.] [Footnote 40: No one is so holy that sin does not hurt him, according to Buddhistic belief. The Brahman, on the contrary, was liable to become so holy that he could commit any sin and it did not affect his virtue, which he stored up in a heap by cumulative asceticism.] [Footnote 41: The offering and reception of gifts is always accompanied with water, both in Buddhistic and Brahmanic circles. Whether this was a religious act or a legal sign of surrender we have not been able to discover. Perhaps it arose simply from water always being offered as refreshment to a guest (with fruit), as a sign of guest-friendship.]
