As in funeral rites, so in matters of daily life, Buddhism gives itscountenance and help to popular superstition, to every kind of charmfor reading the future, securing happiness and driving away evilspirits. In its praise may be said that this patronage, though far tooeasy going, is not extended to cruel or immoral customs. But thereader will ask, is there no brighter side? I believe that there is, but it is not conspicuous and, as in India, public worship and templeritual display the lower as...pects of religion. But in China a devoutBuddhist is generally a good man and the objects of Buddhistassociations are praiseworthy and philanthropic. They often includevegetarianism and abstinence from alcohol and drugs. The weakness ofthe religion to-day is no doubt the want of intelligence and energyamong the clergy. There are not a few learned and devout monks, buteven devotion is not a characteristic of the majority. On the otherhand, those of the laity who take their religion seriously generallyattain a high standard of piety and there have been attempts toreform Buddhism, to connect it with education and to spread aknowledge of the more authentic scriptures[894].
