[Footnote 12:

"Then be the door of salvation opened!
He that hath ears to hear let him hear.
I thought of my own sorrow only, and, therefore,
Have not revealed the Word to the world."]

[Footnote 13: He sometimes, however, quite prosaically
'makes' or 'manufactures' it.]

[Footnote 14: _Dhammacakkappavattana_. Rhys Davids in his
introduction to this _sutta_ gives and explains the eight as
follows (SBE. XI. p.144): 1, Right views; freedom from
superstition or delusion. 2, Right aims, high and worthy of
the intelligent, earnest man. 3, Right speech, kindly, open,
truthful. 4, Right conduct, peaceful, honest, pure. 5, Right
livelihood, bringing hurt to no living thing. 6, Right
effort in self-training and in self-control. 7, Right
mindfulness, the active watchful mind. 8, Right
contemplation, earnest thought on the deep mysteries of
life.]

[Footnote 16: "A decided predilection for the aristocracy
appears to have lingered as an heirloom of the past in the
older Buddhism," Oldenberg, _Buddha_, p.157.]

Gotama, see Weber, _IS_. L 180.]

[Footnote 18: The parks of Venuvana and Jetavana were
especially affected by Buddha. Compare Oldenberg, _Buddha_,
p.145.]

[Footnote 19: Like the Jains the Buddhists postulate
twenty-four (five) precedent Buddhas.]

[Footnote 20: Buddha's general discipline as compared with
that of the Jains was much more lax, for instance, in the
eating of meat. Buddha himself died of dysentery brought on
by eating pork. The later Buddhism interprets much more
strictly the rule of 'non-injury'; and as we have shown,
Buddha entirely renounced austerities, choosing the mean
between laxity and asceticism.]

_Mah[=a]parinibb[=a]na_, v. 23.]

[Footnote 22: The chief Buddhistic dates are given by Mueller
(introduction to _Dhammapada_, SBE. vol. X.) as follows:
557, Buddha's birth; 477, Buddha's death and the First
Council at R[=a]jagriha; 377, the Second Council at
V[=a]ic[=a]l[=i]; 259, Acoka's coronation; 242, Third
Council at P[=a]taliputta; 222, Acoka's death. These dates
