Buddhism, which comes in al most as many varieties as Chris , tianity. now has about 150 mil ' lion followers in Japan, Korea, China. Mongolia. Tibet, Ceylon, Burma. Thailand. Laos. Cambo dia and Viet Nam. One of its varieties, called Zen, has attracted a small but articu ' late following among western in tellectuals. Twenty years ago, students of world religions were calling Bud- dhism a moribund faith. But as ' a traditional religion of the East, it has received a powerful stim ulus from the wave of nationalist feeling that has swept over Asian countries since World War II. Its come-back as a popular religion is dramatized by the current con troversy n Viet Nam. where Buddhists are bitterly protesting I against alleged persecution by the government of President Ngo Dinh Diem, a Roman Catholic. Buddhism is sometimes called Hindu Protestantism." It origi nated in India 2.500 years ago, as a protest to reform movement - within Hinduism.

Sacrifice Calk Attention To New Revival province about 100 miles from Bernarcs. Legend says that Gau tama had three palaces and 40, 000 dancing girls to keep him amused. But he learned early in life that luxury did not lead to happiness. When he was about 29 years old, he abandoned his sumptuous life as a prince and went into the forest, dressed in rags, to seek enlightenment in the solitary life of a Hindu as cetic. No one ever practiced mortifi cation of the flesh with greater dedication than Guatama. He fasted (eating one bean a day) until his spine could be seen through his shrunken stomach. But he found no answer to his questions about life, and conclud ed that extreme asceticism was no better than luxury as a path way to happiness. After six years of futile search ing. Guatama seated himself one evening beneath the shade of a fig tree near the village of Gaya in northeast India. He vowed that he would sit right there until he saw the light. According to Buddhist Scrip tures, he remained for 49 days. He emerged from this experi ence as the Buddha, or "the en lightened one." For the next 45 years, he walked from one Indi an village to another, sharing his new insights with all who would listen, and founding an order of monks to practice his precepts 10:10 A.M.

Comprise A Philosophy Buddha's original teachings constitute a philosophy of life rather than a religion. He taught that human life is characterized by suffering, and the basic cause of suffering is "tanha," a word which is often translated as "de sire" but which actually connotes selfish craving, the tendency in every person to seek his own pri vate happiness. To break free from slavery to tanha, Buddha said men must follow "the eightfold path" of right knowledge, right aspiration, right speech, right behavior, right occupation, right effort, right thinking and right absorp tion. Under each of these eight head ings, he laid down rules for rig orous self-discipline. Buddhists were forbidden to lie, steal or kill any living creature, includ ing animals and insects. They were allowed to eat only what they could beg, and then just enough to keep the body alive and functioning. Alcoholic bever ages and sex relations were strictly forbidden.

'If we do not produce massive Christian support for a moral is sue that is as clear as this one, the churches Hill have been re vealed to be an incumbrance on society rather than a source of inspiration and vision," said Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, chief executive officer of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.

Exactly what he meant by this much-abused term is hard to determine from his authenticated sayings. At times, he seems to think of nirvana as a state of nothingness, a final blotting out of human individuality land hence of the selfish cravings which cause suffering.) At other points, he speaks of nirvana in terms comparable to those which a Christian mystic might use to describe ecstatic union with God. Preserved By Monks Today the austere philosophy of Buddha is preserved primarily by the so-called Theravada' monks of Burma, Ceylon, Thai land and Cambodia. The popular Buddhism of other countries wor ships Gautama as a divine sav ior, and admits a whole pantheon of other gods. Like Christianity, popular or "Mahayana" Buddhism places great emphasis on compassion and human brotherhood. Room has been made for prayer and ritual, and salvation is something man receives by divine grace, rather than something he must earn by rigorous self-denial. Lay- Churchman Says Must Aid Righters nation, was arrested and shuttled olf in a police wagon last month as one of a group of white aiul Negro clergymen who attempted to integrate an all-white amuse ment park near Baltimore. Md. "But it will have to be I proved." Dr. Blake contended, "that I broke any law." There is not one racial crisis in the United States, but two. Dr. Blake believes. "The one every one is talking about that the Ne gro community is through with tokenism' and the crisis within the churches themselves," he said. That is "whether the Chris tian churches can persuade the great margin of their constitu ents that the cause tfor racial equality i must be carried out." Action Against Talk For about 20 years, he said, the churches have "said all the right things" about desegrega-j tion, but now all Christian churches must "identify them selves" with the plight of the Negro. The emphasis must be on "action against talk," he said. It remains to be seen, he said, if the rank and file of church membership will fully support the movement for full equality. "The leadership of the oppressed groups almost completely lost confidence in the seriousness of the white leadership," he said. "Now. the most important thing the churches can do is try to persuade their constituents to negotiate" with Negro leaders in order to bring about those changes that will desegregate American life." When all negotiation fails, he said, "it would appear that the only way to move forward" would be for the clergymen white and Negro to stand to gether in demonstrations. The real crisis is still to come, he said. "It is more of a na tional than a sectional problem and in the long run it will be solved in such major cities as New ork, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo., and San Francisco." White citizens, he said, have escaped "physically" to the sub urbs of these and other cities. "But it is too soon for the Chris tian churches to find out whether all their constituents arc going to escape morally and psycholog ically. Jehovah's Witness Goes To Meeting George Hricziscsc, presiding minister of tlie Klamath Falls Congregation of Jehovah's Wit nesses, will serve as a delegate to an eight-day international con vention of tlie religious group, scheduled for the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif., Sept. 1-8. "Arranging our affairs to at tend a religious seminar of this type requires planning all year long," Hricziscse said. Hricziscse said tlie convention program will feature comprehen sive Bible lectures, reports from foreign lands, an analysis on the world-wide work of the religious organization and symposiums which will demonstrate to the delegates advanced teach j ing methods. men as well as monks can hoo to reach nirvana, which in Maha yana Buddhism sounds rather like a primitive Christian version of heaven. Zen is a special case. It devel oped in China in the 6th Century A.D., and by the 12th Century had reached Japan, where it took root and still flowers. The hart of Zen is the conviction that real truth can never be expressed or understood in verbal formulae, but can only be directly experi enced through a fiash of intuition or enlightenment called "satori." To drive home the futility of rea son as a road to truth, Zen mus ters require their disciples to spend endless hours working on "koans" or nonsense problems to which there is no rational solution. FOOD FOR THOUGHT "Bewart lett thou forget Jehovo thy God, in not keep ing hit commandments, ond hit statutes ... and lett thou toy in thy heart My power and tha might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou lhalt re member Jehovah thy God, for it it ha thaf givath thea the power to get wealth." While this was spoken to Israel under the Old Covenant, tha thought involved should ba humbly admitted by God's faithful followers in every age. Since Christians, above all men, recogniia the Creator's part in tht af fairs of life, art wa thoroughly owore of our relation ship os a steword, entrusted with the care of God's property? Let us strive to manage the affairs of life and the possessions wa mov have, realising thot all has simply been entrusted into our core that wa are only stewards. May each of us ba faithful. C.

TU 2-0374, 2-4579 You Are Cordially Invited To Worship With Ui Community's Religious Culture The church, by definition, is part of tlie religious culture of tlie community in the suburbs, the city or anywhere else, he said. And ordinary American at titudes affect tlie suburban churches. But the imrtant ques tion is, he said. "Is the church affecting theirs'.'" Dr. Blake is a vice president and acting chairman of the Na tional Council of Churches' Com mission on Religion and Race which recently blue-printed an "emergency" program to combat racial prejudice. The 32-mcmbcr commission adopted a broad statement in upport of bending civil rights legislation, made plans for a mass religious assembly in Wash ington and asked denominational boards and agencies to withhold funds from church construction projects which do not follow fair employment practices. The commission further has asked Congress to oppose a fili buster when projected civil rights legislation reaches the Senate floor and to pass civil rights measures "which will guarantee equal opportunity under the law to all Americans. Elimination Of Affronts Whether any real progress is made, Dr. Blake said, will de pend on "tlie employment of Ne groes and their upgrading, the availability of housing at all economic levels, including the elimination of Negro ghettos, the i raising of) educational opportun ities" and. as he said was tried in Baltimore, the elimination of all "affronts to human dignity, Dr. Blake, who said lie lias received both favorable and un favorable comment for his par ticipation in tlie Baltimore dem onstration. He admitted that he has been "roundly criticized" by some for his outspoken views and added, "I'm not happy to be an accused law-breaker." But, he said, "our best, young leadership is really watching the church" to see if it is going to be an intense and strong enough force to deal with the racial and other issues in American life. He said that to those who have criticized him for the stand he has taken here, his answer has been: "What would you expect a Christian to do?" Convention officials have re vealed that 70.000 persons, rep- presenting the Western United States, Central and South Amer ica, Canada and islands of the Pacific are expected to attend. Other assemblies involve 21 oth er locations in Europe, tlie Near East, Asia. Australia and the isles of the Pacific.
