[6]The magazine conducted by Yi Nung Hwa has had several breaks in
publication and after each the name has been changed. As here given
the names are English translations of the original:
_Monthly Magazine of Chosen Buddhism._ Nineteen issues, from
January 25, 1911 to August 25, 1913.
_Buddhist Magazine of the Eastern Sea._ Eight issues from November
20, 1913 to June 20, 1914.
_Monthly Magazine of the Association of Rising Buddhism._ Nine
issues from March 15, 1915 to December 15, 1915.
_Kingdom of Chosen Buddhism._ Three issues from April 5, 1916 to
June 5, 1916.
_General Magazine of Chosen Buddhism_, from March 20, 1917. Three
numbers had appeared when I received this note in May 1917.
[7]The texts most commonly read in Korean monasteries are the
_Hokkekyo_, _Kegon_, _Kishinlon_, _Fumonbon_ and _Amidakyo_,
according to Madame Gordon. These are Japanese pronunciation.
[8]The Japanese names of the four guardians are:
Bishamon: east; blue; tower.
Komoku: south; red; jewel.
Jikoku: west; green; lute.
Zocho: north; flesh; sword.
[9]Three Buddhas have preceded Sakyamuni in the present _kalpa_ and one
is still to come before the _kalpa_ ends. The entire list is:
_Krakuchanda_ (Pali, _Kakusanda_), “who solves doubt.”
_Kanakamuni_ (P. _Konagamana_) “body radiant as gold.”
_Kasyapa_ (P. _Kassapa_) “swallower of light.”
_Sakyamuni._
_Maitreya._ Legge: Fa-hien, p. 51.
[10]The eight scenes in the Life of Buddha are:
(_a_) Incarnation.
(_b_) Birth.
(_c_) Encounter with age, sickness, death.
(_d_) Escape—with aid of the four heavenly kings.
(_e_) Asceticism.
(_f_) Enlightenment.
(_g_) Preaching—“turning the wheel.”
(_h_) Nirvana.
Transcriber’s Notes
