Footnote 206:
Childers, _Pali Dictionary_, Art. NIRVANA.
Footnote 207:
Dr. Kellogg, in his _Light of Asia and Light of the World_, pp. 223,
252, protests very forcibly against the use by translators of the word
“immortality” as the equivalent of Nirvana. It meant, as he reminds
us, “the end of death indeed, but not because life had triumphed, but
because, life having ceased, death had nothing to feed on.”
Immortality, endless bliss, and kindred phrases, applied to it, are
only justifiable by the popular but really un-Buddhistic use of the
word Nirvana.

Footnote 210:
“Not to know suffering, not to know the cause of suffering, not to
know the path that leads to the cessation of suffering—this is called
Ignorance.” Consequently knowledge of these things is saving
knowledge.—Mahavagga, _Sacred Books of the East_, vol. xiii. p. 75,
note 2.
Footnote 211:
This threefold division or “doorway” (Hardy, _Manual_, p. 491), once
considered by Weber to be peculiar to Buddhism, has been proved to be
common to Brahmans, Persians, Jews, and Greeks, as well as Christians.
