PAX VOBISCUM.
On one point I have been a little puzzled. The password of the Buddhist Wanderers was Sadhu! which does not seem to correspond with the "Pax Vobiscum!" (Matt. x. 13) of Christ's disciples. But I have just come across a passage in Renan ("Les Apôtres," p. 22) which shows that the Hebrew word was Schalom! (bonheur!) This is almost a literal translation of Sadhu!
Burnouf says that by preaching and miracle Buddha's religion was established. In point of fact it was the first universal religion. He invented the preacher and the missionary.
"A NEW COMMANDMENT GIVE I YOU, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER."
"By love alone can we conquer wrath. By good alone can we conquer evil. The whole world dreads violence. All men tremble in the presence of death. Do to others that which ye would have them do to you. Kill not. Cause no death." ("Sûtra of Forty-two Sections," v. 129.)
"Say no harsh words to thy neighbour. He will reply to thee in the same tone." (Ibid. v. 133.)
"'I am injured and provoked, I have been beaten and plundered!' They who speak thus will never cease to hate." (Ibid. v. 4, 5.)
"That which can cause hate to cease in the world is not hate, but the absence of hate."
"If, like a trumpet trodden on in battle, thou complainest not, thou has attained Nirvâna."
"Silently shall I endure abuse, as the war-elephant receives the shaft of the bowman."
