Aldous Huxley writes: "Alone of all the great world religions Buddhism made its way without persecution censorship or inquisition."
Lord Russell remarks: "Of the great religions of history, I prefer Buddhism, especially in its earliest forms; because it has had the smallest element of persecution."

Buddhism appeals more to the intellect than to the emotion. It is concerned more with the character of the devotees than with their numerical strength. (en) |
