Buddhism.—The Pundita Ramabai, of India, is reported as saying that the preachers who are teaching Buddhism in America have an established hospital for animals in Bombay. “In that hospital,” she continues, “there is a ward devoted to bugs, and a man is hired to feed these bugs on his blood every night. They never take any thought of the women who are dying under the weight of this philosophy, but they just show their charity toward the bugs. I recommend that hospital for the edification of American students of Buddhism. Let them stay one night in that bug ward. That will pay them for all their labors in studying that philosophy.”
