To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To nurse the sick and minister to the needs of the destitute, would have helped to confirm the afflicted in their delusive attachment to individual existence, the very thing which Buddha sought to undo. It would likewise have been too dis- tracting. The life which Buddha felt to be alone suited to the pursuit of Nirvana was one, not of active participation in the world, but of quiet solitude and contemplation. In the Tevijja Siitta the conduct of the Buddhist monk is contrasted with that of cer...tain heretical monks who gain a livelihood " by prescrib- ing medicines to produce vomiting or purging, or to remove obstructions in the higher or lower intestines, or to relieve headache ; by preparing oils for the ear, collyriums, catholicons, antimony, and cooling drinks ; by practising cautery, midwifery, or the use of root decoctions or salves. "^ The only act of beneficence which Buddha inculcated on his disciples was to preach to others. Such are the main characteristics of the religious life, if we may call it religious, to which Buddha invited his fellow-men.
