Buddha: His Life, his Doctrine, his Order c8.55

c8.55

∗ It is exceedingly characteristic of the method of Senart’s criticism, that he quotes a text of the stamp of the “Saddharmapuṇḍa Rîka” (p. 247, note 1), to show the inseparability of the notions, Buddha and a tree of knowledge; he should have quoted the sacred Pâli texts to show the complete non-essentiality of the tree.
