EFFORTS have been made during a number of years to establish Buddhism in America. Temples of the True Pure Land Sect have been opened in a number of cities on the Pacific coast, mainly for the benefit of the California Japanese. Efforts have been made, also, to introduce Zen Buddhism, notably by the Abbot Soyen Shaku at the time of the Congress of Religions at Chicago. He lectured in many places and his addresses were translated by Professor Daisetz Suzuki, under the title of SERMONS OF A BUDDHIST ABBOT. Zen centers were opened at San Francisco and Los Angeles by Rev. Nyogen Senzaki, and in New York by Rev. Sokei-ann Sazaki. Their method was to have regular lectures and daily meditation services, but the poor support they received limited their efforts. They had many learners but few became devoted converts. The weakness of this method seems to be that coming under the influence of Buddhism for only two or three hours a week and then re turning to the cares and distractions of the worldly life, they fall back into the conventional life of the world.

IN the early part of 1915 there was sent out to personal friends of the author an inter-weaving of the Four Gospels into one connected account of the life and the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, in which the attempt had been made by free translation and paraphrase to bring out their unity from a modern point of view. From the hundreds of letters that were received and the conversations that were held, it became evident that a new line of appreciation for the Good News of a Spiritual Realm and the Way of Salvation had been opened. The present sermons are an attempt to set this Good News of a Spiritual Realm into relation to present-day thought, and to show its value and usefulness to anyone who has felt a desire to make that supreme adventure in faith, a quest for a higher spiritual life, with Jesus as a guide, an inspiration, and a Saviour.

This is a professionally edited and typed version of the classic book, NOT a blurred facsimilie of the book. Buddhism is a religion and philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit "the awakened one"). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is recognized by Buddhists as an awakened or enlightened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth.
