Note 27 — LECTURE I. NECESSITY FOR A PROPER COMPARISON OF THE TWO RELIGIONS.
Reading edition
The Buddhists, as Professor Kuenen remarks, do not believe in angels, and they have no Messiah.

So Oldenberg, Rhys Davids, Bigandet, Edkins, Rajendralal Mitra: see too Dr. Kellogg, Light of Asia and the Light of the World, pp. 106, 107.
