оз.  bt  4,  Our  Teacher  is  no  more, 
Of  Universe  the  Eyes  are  closed, 
Those  who  have  witnessed  Him  are  gone, 
And  troubled  by  false  reasoning  is  our  Religion ! 
For  the  Supreme  Lord  has  entered  Final  Rescue, 
Followed  by  those  who  faithfully 
This  Holy  Doctrine  have  maintained. 
The  World  is  left  without  a  Guide. 
Unchecked  Corruption  nowadays 
Is  freely  spreading  and  defeating  Virtue. 
The  times  are  come 
When  flooded  by  the  rising  tide  of  Ignorance 
Buddha's  Religion  seems  to  breathe  its  last ! 
Therefore,  if  for  Salvation  you  do  care, 
Do  not  be  heedless  I1 
[§  2.  Question  stated.] 
98.  b.  7.       Is  there,  indeed,  no  other  Salvation  than  (within  the  pale  of  Buddhism)? 
No,  there  is  none!  —  Why?  —  Because  (all  other  doctrines)  hold 
to  the  erroneous  view  of  the  real  existence  of  a  Soul.  The  term  «Soul»  is 
not  regarded  by  them  as  a  conventional  term  applied  to  what  is  only  a  flux 
of  elements2.  They  maintain  instead  that  the  Soul  is  a  Reality  quite  inde- 
pendent from  (the  elements).  This  idea  of  a  Self  is  at  the  root  of  every  evil 
passion  (and  through  its  action  Salvation  becomes  impossible).3
