Catholic Encyclopedia's Definition of Buddhism

A critical essay on the history and development of Buddhism, concluding that "Buddhism is all but dead. In its huge organism the faint pulsations of life are still discernible, but its power of activity is gone. The spread of European civilization over the East will inevitably bring about its extinction."
