Art. I.—Schools of Buddhist Belief

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

I have received several interesting communications on my article, published in our Journal for last July, on the Sects of the Buddhists. The Rev. J. E. Carpenter has given me additional figures in Yuan Thsang which had escaped my notice. These numbers bring up the totals given by the Chinese author of the adherents of the different schools, as summarized on p. 420, to 200,000 instead of 182,000. But they leave the conclusion, which was drawn from those numbers, as it stood.

page 8 note 1 This question comes at the end of the other, and is included in it, but it has apparently nothing to do with the argument. The whole section is called (not after the principal subject, but after this subsidiary point) the Paiūpahāra-kathā.

page 13 note 1 That this is their view follows from the opening words of the Commentary on IV. 7.

page 23 note 1 There is a difference of reading here. The Commentary has parinipphannā and parinippannā. My MS. of the text has parīnabbānā (sic) and parinibbattā.
