Excerpt from Christ or Buddha?
The following treatise was written by the author at my request, for the purpose mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and being well fitted by years of study of both Eastern and Western Religious systems to undertake such a commission, she has, in my estimation, given a most comprehensive view of the subject. She has taken a most sympathetic attitude towards the Eastern teaching as becomes an enlightened soul. Thus the spirit of this little book is not controversial in any sense, for we do not believe in trying to build up our own religion by casting dirt upon that of other people. We are just as sure that the religion of the East is perfectly suited to the people who live there as that the Christian religion is the religion for the Western people. Were the Buddha teaching today and a student from the West asked his opinion as to whether he should follow him or the Christ, I feel sure that he would direct the inquirer to The Light of the World; and this little book is therefore sent forth in the hope that it may show Western students that their Religion is the Christian, and that they should leave the Eastern religion to the Eastern people, while embracing with their whole heart and soul the religion of the Christ.
