Priests are often seen sitting tailor-fashion on a small platform, for hours at a time, thoughtless, motionless. The bonze "must first arm himself with a firm resolve to save all creatures, vowing that he will obtain supreme wisdom.' The mat must be placed in a retired spot to be free from interruption, the body composed to a state of perfect quiet, the clothes spread out, the legs properly arranged, the toes of the right foot on the left thigh, and vice versa, the palm of the left hand placed in the hollow of the right, the eyebrows hanging down, the eyes slightly opened, and fixed on the end of the nose, the body and heart both fixed, the mind bound down to repose in the middle of the body, the breathings counted, to prevent thought, and then the heart is at rest. At this time the soul goes out and wanders at leisure, sometimes even on a journey of a thousand miles, returning at pleasure, so that the priest in these invisible nights sees and knows all that goes on in the county or province. Kindness to Animals--Buddhism shows the sympathy for animals that was intended for men. The principle on which it is based is that to eat meat, the root of pity in the heart is broken off. Another reason is that according to the doctrine of transmigration one may be feeding on an ancestor. A third, that all creatures are the sons of Buddha, so a priest is seen using a brush to drive off mosquitoes to avoid killing one; the lice on the body it is not right to destroy, and even hungry spirits Buddha pities as a father.

Originally published in London in 1886, The Dragon, Image, and Demon, Or the Three Religions of China discusses different facets of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist religions, including mythology and demonology associated with them, especially the worship of dragons. Though somewhat different from other cryptozoology titles, author and missionary Hampden DuBose still discusses the unknown-demons, gods, dragons-and their importance within the Eastern religions. In addition to giving an overview of each religion, DuBose discusses the importance of nature, the idolatry and worship of dragons, and the various god- and demon-figures in Eastern mythology and religion, which are somewhat intertwined. Part of the Loren Coleman Presents series for Cosimo Classics, this book will entertain religious as well as scientific scholars of the unknown. HAMPDEN COIT DUBOSE (1845-1910) was a missionary in China with the American Presbyterian Mission. Born and raised in South Carolina, he graduated from Columbia Theological Seminary before becoming a missionary in Suzhou, China in 1872. While there, he discovered the wide-spread use and negative effects of opium in China, and co-founded and became the first president of the Anti-Opium League in China. DuBose also authored several books, including Preaching in Sinim: The Gospel to the Gentiles, with Hints and Helps for Addressing a Heathen Audience (1873) and The Dragon, Image, and Demon, Or the Three Religions of China (1886).
