Summary

In this short piece, theosophical writer Remsen Whitehouse sets out to disprove a common argument against Buddhism during his day: that all Buddhists are atheistic. He examines the difference between divine intelligence and a God as well as pantheism and the concept of an immortal soul. Originally published in 1889, it's interesting to note that Whitehouse, like many writers of his time, had a pretty strict definition of what Buddhism was and didn't consider what the Chinese and Japanese people practiced to qualify as being included in that definition.
