Jewish prudery has quite marred the third temptation. From the days of Krishna and the phantom naked woman, Kotavî, to the days of St. Anthony and St. Jerome, or even to the days of mediæval monasteries with their incubi and succubi, sex temptations have been a prominent feature of the fasting ascetic's visions. The daughters of Mâra, the tempter, in exquisite forms, now come round Buddha. In the end he converts these pretty ladies, and converts and baptises Mâra himself. "AND ANGELS CAME AND MINISTERED UNTO HIM." After his conflict with Mâra, angels come to greet him. "GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY." Buddha, on vanquishing Mâra, left Buddha Gaya for the deer forest of Benares. There he began to preach. His doctrine is called Subha Shita (glad tidings). (_See_ Rajendra L. Mitra "N. Buddhist Lit.," p. 29.) "BEHOLD A GLUTTONOUS PERSON!" Five disciples who left him when he gave over the rigid fasts of the Brahmins, called out on seeing him in the deer forest, "Behold a gluttonous person!" (_relaché et gourmand_). "FOLLOW ME." Almost his first converts were thirty profligate young men, whom he met sporting with lemans in the Kappasya jungle. "He received them," says Professor Rhys Davids, "into the order, with the formula, 'Follow Me.'" ("Birth Stories," p. 114.) THE TWELVE GREAT DISCIPLES. "Except in my religion, the twelve great disciples are not to be found." (Bigandet, p. 301.) "THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED." One disciple was called Upatishya (the beloved disciple). In a former existence, he and Maudgalyâyana had prayed that they might sit, the one on the right hand and the other on the left. Buddha granted this prayer. The other disciples murmured much. (Bigandet, p. 153.) "GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD." From Benares Buddha sent forth the sixty-one disciples. "Go ye forth," he said, "and preach Dharma, no two disciples going the same way." (Bigandet, p. 126.) "THE SAME CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT." Professor Rhys Davids points out that Yâsas, a young rich man, came to Buddha by night for fear of his rich relations. PAX VOBISCUM. On one point I have been a little puzzled. The password of the Buddhist Wanderers was Sadhu! which does not seem to correspond with the "Pax Vobiscum!" (Matt. x. 13) of Christ's disciples. But I have just come across a passage in Renan ("Les Apôtres," p. 22) which shows that the Hebrew word was Schalom! (_bonheur!_) This is almost a literal translation of Sadhu! Burnouf says that by preaching and miracle Buddha's religion was established. In point of fact it was the first universal religion. He invented the preacher and the missionary. "A NEW COMMANDMENT GIVE I YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER." "By love alone can we conquer wrath. By good alone can we conquer evil. The whole world dreads violence. All men tremble in the presence of death. Do to others that which ye would have them do to you. Kill not. Cause no death." ("Sûtra of Forty-two Sections," v. 129.)
