Chapter XIII: Java and Buddhism 137-146

Java, the jewel of the Dutch Crown, has
thirty-five millions of people 139

The "culture system" makes it immensely productive 139

Mistakes of Holland in matters of government and
education 140

A back-bone of volcanic mountains furnishes
unsurpassed railway views 140

Endless fields of rice and sugar-cane on hillside
and plain 141

A passionate people reveal themselves in their
music, their shadow-dances, their use of the
Malay dagger 141

The new policy of the Dutch government shown in
the botanical gardens 142

More scientific and practical than those of Ceylon,
they minister to all the world 142

Doctor Lovink, Dutch minister of agriculture,
conducts us 143

The temple of Boro Budor, restored after ruin, the
greatest wonder of Java 143

Five times as great as any English cathedral 143

Sculptures in alto-relievo that would stretch three
miles 144

A picture-gallery of the life of Buddha 144

Buddhism has no personal or living God, and no
atonement for sin 145

Boro Budor, slowly disintegrating, has no power to
combat either Mohammedanism or Christianity 145
