20 March :
20 Mar 1894 : Buddha protested against the inequality of man and man,
or of man and beast. All life was equal, he preached. He was the first
man to uphold the doctrine of prohibition in liquors. "Be good and do
good," he said. "If there is a God you have him by being good. If there
is no God, being good is good. He is to be blamed for all he suffers. He
is to be praised for all his good."
He was the first who brought the missionaries into existence. He came as a savior to the downtrodden millions of India. They could not understand his philosophy, but they saw the man and his teachings and they followed him. ... from Detroit Tribune.. As the wave follow wave...

20 Mar 1896 : Lecture: "Ideal of a Universal Religion" - No longer
will religion remain a bundle of ideas or theories, nor an intellectual
assent; it will enter into our very self. By means of intellectual
assent we may today subscribe to many foolish things, and change our
minds altogether tomorrow. But true religion never changes. Religion is
realisation; not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories, however beautiful
they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing or acknowledging; it
is the whole soul becoming changed into what it believes. That is
religion.
