An Outline of the True Sect of Buddhism (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from An Outline of the True Sect of Buddhism

When I was requested by the Society to undertake the translation, the time allowed was so short that I fear the work is but imperfectly done.

I have made a free rather than a literal translation; in some parts amplifying the original and in other parts curtailing it, so as to make the work more intelligible to foreigners.

I am very much indebted to Mr. E. B. Lambert for his kind revision.
