225 notions seuni to prevail with many in China ; lor while some, according to Dr. Edkins, adhere to a contemplative school, which seeks to attain Nirvdna in this present life, in a profound meditation wherein the ideas of virtue and vice alike disappear, the people generally look forward to going to the heaven of the gods, others, to the western heaven, where Amitabha Buddha is supposed to live.^ So, again, M. 15arth tells us that even Nirvdim, to the larger part of the Buddhists of to-day, is... "a sort of eternal repose or negative blessedness. " " But howsoever tho minds of many in Buddhist countries may have revolted against a system that failed to satisfy man's natural craving for immortality, yet, if we are to be guided by the authorities of the Buddhist religion, it must none the less be admitted that the facts fully justify the strong language of M. Barth, who says again, " If there is a conclusion which asserts itself as having been tliat of Buddhism in all ages, which follows from all that it insists on, and from all that it ignores, it is that ' the way ' conducts to total extinction, and that perfection consists in ceasing to exist.
