To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A party of Buddhist priests now came forward and walked in proces- sion, striking bells and chanting. As they passed round the house they threw rice and wheat upon it. The family came forward and worshipped their deceased mother, for whose use the house was built. They wore white cotton cloth and sackcloth, white cloth shoes, and white cotton braid at the ends of their pigtails, instead of the usual silk braid, used as a terminal decoration to that ornament.
The Chinese think that in mourning c...ostume the material should be uncoloured, and they therefore employ white.
In this they resemble the ancient Jews, who wore sack- cloth, as being a coarse, uncoloured material, on occasions when they desired to make an outward expression of grief.
After the act of worship, some shots were fired, and then a light was applied to the fragile paper fabric, and in a moment it was in flames. It stood in an open court within the family residence.
According to the doctrine of metempsychosis we are all passing through a succession of lives, some past and some to come ; and the life on which we are about to enter may be sufficiently like the present to allow of provision being made for our comfort there in a way such as that just described.
