The Buddhist. how ever stood to gain more by death even than the Brahmin, and, as his estimate of the value of life was no higher, suicide was still more lcommon among the followers of Bud- dha than it had been prior to the pro-|l mulgation of the new religion. ‘ By the Buddhists, suicide is looked1 upon. even to-day, as justifiable un- der almost any circumstances. In China it is true, some suicides,â€"especially those caused by gamblingâ€"are regard- ed as dishonorable, but everywhere that Buddhism has penetrated human life is held as of little or no value, and suicide is committed on the slightest provocation imaginable. or without any I provocation at all. \Nith Buddhists life 3 is a penance and death is the doorway {to eternal joy. It is therefore. not isurprising that they are always ready to commit suicide on the very slight- .est pretext. Among the Chinese atri- |vial insult is frequently followed by ' death. not of the ’ag'gressor, but of the ‘ offended individual. who ends his life, and, in his opinion, casts infamy upon his assailant.
