♦No true parallel♦ ♦Christ is all♦ This essential distinction ends all parallel. The Buddha claimed through travail and sorrow to have discovered his gospel of the Path to emancipation from the Self-life. The Christ came from the Father, according to the vision of the Seers, to bring a gospel of recovered sonship; and, through travail, sorrow, death, and rising (for it was impossible that the grave should hold Him), to reveal the Way back into the true life. To the Christian “_Christ is absolutely true, the Point whence we start, and where we must end. From Christ and to Christ includes the whole circle of our knowledge and the whole circle of our uncertainty. All truth and all ways to truth must end in Him Who is The Truth and The Way. Being in Him, what is unknown cannot baffle us, for He knows it in Whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge._” “_Christ is all, and in all._” THE END A SHORT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ACCESSIBLE BOOKS UPON THE SUBJECT. _Buddhism: Its History and Literature._ By PROFESSOR RHYS DAVIDS.

TRANSCRIBERS’ NOTES In both the pure text and HTML versions, the sidenotes have been moved to the top of the original paragraph and surrounded with ♦ ♦. The use of quotation marks has been standardized. On Page 97, “aark” has been replaced with “dark”: _I ne’er again shall enter the dark womb._ Other possible misspellings and variations in spelling (e.g., Eight-fold/Eightfold, Buddhahood/Buddha-hood, etc.) have been preserved as originally printed, since they do not impact the clarity of the text. In this text version, italic print has been marked with underscores (_italic_). Small-caps have been replaced with capital letters.
