Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)FIGURES OF BUDDHA IN A BURMESE TEMPLE. There can be no doubt that Buddhism is a higher and finer form of religion than the older Brahminical faith, which still prevails throughout the greater part of India, though it be hard for Western intelligence to comprehend the precise meaning of the great perfecting of existence by absorption into Buddha which is the aim and hope of the devout Buddhist. Indeed, the full comprehension and accomplishment of the mystic ideal are held in Eastern lands to be the privilege of the few, the reward of exceptional piety and life-long self-devotion. But the external presentation of Buddha, the seated figure in eternal contemplation, is familiar to everyone who has travelled in the East. We here see a succession of such figures seated along the wall of a Pagoda. The figures, no doubt, are made interesting to the minds of the faithful by their pious associations, but are not particularly impressive to the ordinary spectator.
