Synopsis
Excerpt from Mystical Buddhism in Connexion With the Yoga Philosophy of the Hindus
In all this the Buddha showed himself to be eminently practical in his methods and profoundly wise in his generation. Evidently, too, he was wise in abstaining at first from all mystical teaching. Originally Buddhism set its face against all solitary asceticism and secret efforts to attain sublime heights of knowledge. It had no occult, no esoteric system of doctrine Which it Withheld from ordinary men.
Nor did true Buddhism at first concern itself with any form of philosophical or metaphysical teaching, which it did not consider helpful for the attainment of the only kind of true knowledge worth striving for - the knowledge of the origin of suffering and its remedy - the knowledge that suffering and pain arise from indulging lusts, and that life is in separable from suffering, and is an evil to be got rid of by suppressing self and extinguishing desires.
