Whenever You Do Something Without Asking Yourself,

Historically, There Had Been Many Periods Of Chinese Renaissance.

The Chinese People, Too, Went Through All Kinds Of Vicissitudes In Their Religious Development.

But I Wish To Point Out That It Is Entirely Wrong To Say That The Chinese Are Not Religious.

The Most Outstanding Characteristic Of Eastern Civilization Is To Know Contentment, Whereas That Of Western Civilization Is Not To Know Contentment. Contented Easterners Are Satisfied With Their Simple Life And Therefore Do Not Seek To Increase Their Material Enjoyment... They Are Satisfied With Their Present Lot And Environment And Therefore Do Not Want To Conquer Nature But Merely Be At Home With Nature And At Peace With Their Lot.

It Is True That The Chinese Are Not So Religious As The Hindus, Or Even As The Japanese; And They Are Certainly Not So Religious As The Christian Missionaries Desire Them To Be.
