Excerpt from Le Code du Mahâyâna en Chine: Son Influence sur la Vie Monacale Et sur le Monde Laïque

Il faudrait que la science eût exploré bien plus complètement que ce n'est le cas le champ d'investigation que lui Offre le bud dhisme chinois, pour qu'il fût besoin de justifier la publication d'un ouvrage consacré a ce sujet. Mais, bien au contraire, notre connaissance de la Chine, et spécialement de son système de religion, est si bornée que longtemps encore plus on apportera de faits de nature a l'étendre, mieux cela vaudra.
