[Footnote 11: The names of Buddhist priests and monks are usually
different from those of the laity, being taken from events in the life
of Gautama, or his original disciples, passages in the sacred classics,
etc. Among some personal acquaintances in the Japanese priesthood were
such names as Lift-the-Kettle, Take-Hold-of-the-Dipper,
Drivelling-Drunkard, etc. In the raciness, oddity, literalness, realism,
and close connection of their names with the scriptures of their system,
the Buddhists quite equal the British Puritans.]

[Footnote 14: This is the essence of Buddhism, and was for centuries
repeated and learned by heart throughout the empire:

"Love and enjoyment disappear,
What in our world endureth here?
E'en should this day it oblivion be rolled,
'Twas only a vision that leaves me cold."
