The Calcutta Review An Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) January 1924

1924

In the.treat national literatures of the world we find some works which have become the common property of all nations The Hebrew Bible and the New Testament the poems of Homer the fables of.lisop the Arabian Nights the plays of Shakespeare—to mention only some of the best knimn example. [...] And ever since then it ha4 become the custom in Germany to speak of the `wisdom of India ' or of Indian wisdom.' And what is generally meant by this wisdom' are on the whole the ideas and thoughts found in the Cpaniaads in the Bhagavadgnit and in the sacred books of the Buddhists. [...] and it is at least probable that the mystitheosophical Logos doctrine of the Neo-Platonic School and of the Alexandrian Christians and even the teachings of the Christian mystics Eckhart and Tattler were in some way or other influenced by the Atman-Brahman doctrine of the Upanisads. [...] And he says of this book : " It is the most profitable and elevating reading that (with the exception of the original text) is possible in the world : it has been the solace of my life and will be that of my death." But the fundamental teaching of the 1-panitylds is the same which in the words of Sehopenhauer. [...] Much has been written about the parallels between the Buddha legend and the legend of Christ and coincidences between sayings parables and similes of Buddhist sacred texts and those found in the Gospels and it has often been asserted that the Christian Gospels were largely influenced by the Buddhist Tipitaka both as regards the legends and the teaching.
