ter we must worship Mithra (the sun), from whom
descend Ormuzd, the god of good, and Ahriman, the god of evil. The world
will end when Ormuzd has triumphed over his rival, Ahriman, who will
then return to his original source, Mithra.

_Chapter X_

_Sec. 16_

According to the Evangelists, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which the
Buddhistic version confirms, for only from Bethlehem, situated at a
distance of about seven kilometres from Jerusalem, could the walls of
this latter city be seen.

_Chapter XI_

_Sec. 15_

The doctrine of the Redemptor is, almost in its entirety, contained in
the Gospels. As to the transformation of men into children, it is
especially known from the conversation that took place between Jesus and
Nicodemus.

_Chapter XII_

_Sec. 1_

--"Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute
unto Caesar, or not?" (Matt. xxii, 17.)

_Sec. 3_

--"Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which
are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." (Matt. xxii, 21;
_et al._)

_Chapter XIV_

_Sec. 3_

According to the Buddhistic belief, the terrestrial buddhas after death,
lose consciousness of their independent existence and unite with the
eternal Spirit.

_Secs. 10, 11_

Here, no doubt, reference is made to the activity of the Apostles among
the neighboring peoples; an activity which could not have passed
unnoticed at that epoch, because of the great results which followed the
preaching of the new religious doctrine of love among nations whose
religions were based upon the cruelty of their gods.

Without permitting myself indulgence in great dissertations, or too
minute analysis upon each verse, I have thought it useful to accompany
my work with these few little explanatory notes, leaving it to the
reader to take like trouble with the rest.
