122 1, 6 (1)| The words 'the Mind of Buddha' were taken from a passage
123 1, 6, 7 | with the universal life or Buddha, that each ever lives face
124 1, 6, 7 | lives face to face with Buddha, that each is beset by the

134 1, 7, 6 | of pessimistic complaint. Buddha, or Universal Life conceived
135 1, 7, 6 | everything level and smooth. Buddha is the spiritual Cakravartin,
136 1, 7, 9 | we take it as the will of Buddha to leave no action without
137 1, 7, 9 | being retributed. Thus it is Buddha himself who kindles our
138 1, 7, 9 | stains in our hearts, obeying Buddha's command audible in the
