Excerpt from Buddhist China
It is too soon yet to say whether the forces set in motion by the Revolution - or rather the forces of which the political revolution was one of the manifestations - will bring about the total collapse of Buddhism in China. Judging from the present activity of the Buddhists themselves, it seems more likely that what we are about to witness is not a collapse, but at least a partial revival of Buddhism. Those Western observers who fancy that the Buddhist religion in China is inextricably associated with old-fashioned and dis credited political and social conventions in general, and with the corruptions of the Manchu dynasty in particular, have a very imperfect knowledge of Chinese history and of the past relations of Buddhism with the Chinese body-politic.

Excerpt from Buddhist China
Though it is too early to say whether this movement will lead to any permanent results, it is certainly not Of mushroom growth; nor can it be said to be a mere by-product either Of revolutionary excitement or Of reactionary caprice. Evidence of this may be found in the fact that during the past decade an influential group Of Chinese Buddhists has been quietly at work producing a new complete edition Of that pro digious collection Of Buddhistic literature which is usually but inaccurately referred to as the Chinese Buddhist Canon. This great work, having occupied a large staff of editors and printers for several years past, has been quite recently (1913) brought to a happy conclusion.
