…sattva. Buddha did not become a Srotapatti until seven incarnations before he attained to Buddhahood. The last part of the verse and the long note (of which we quote the gist) are nonsense. To describe a complete Buddha as “an ideal breath; Consciousness merged in the Universal Consciousness, or Soul devoid of every attribute,” is not Buddhism at all, and is quite incompatible with Buddhism. 98. Now bend thy head and listen well, O Bodhisattva— Compassion speaks and saith: “Can there be bliss when all that lives must suffer? Shalt thou be saved…

…ari tell the story of Excalibur in language so near to that of Malory as to make no odds. Could one of his sahibs have told him the tale long ago, so that it popped up in this strange fashion with me as the hearer? I had no doubt whatever of the man's sincerity and truthfulness and he had no motive for inventing anything of the sort.

It may be remarked that the statement “thou canst choose” is alto- gether opposed to that form of the theory of determinism which is orthodox Buddhism.

It was perhaps only through the treachery of another man that mischief was finally made between us. But nothing can destroy the past, and the long years of our intimate friendship were indeed fertile. We saw each other nearly every day and worked together in perfect harmony.
