Excerpt from Guide to Buddahood: Standard Manual of Chinese Buddhism
The Strength lies in its systematic arrangement of a complete view of the universe, its aim to remove the suffering of all living beings by Ethics and by Union with the Supreme Divine Will which rules all.
The Weakness lies in its inditement of the sexual element in the universe and its vain efforts to stamp it out; its countless imaginary worlds and its imaginary beings inhabiting each, its neglecting in China, where most of the Buddhists of the world are, to take part in the practical improvement of the material, social, educational and political conditions of men regarding all such things as compared with the eternal, nothing but vanity!
