his
activityand did not spare his own life. He gave up kingdomcitywife
and son; he plucked out his eyes and gave them to another;[10] he cut off
a piece of his own flesh to ransom the life of a dove;[10] he cut off his
head and gave it as an alms;[11] he gave his body to feed a starving
tigress;[11] he grudged not his marrow and his brains. In many such ways
as these did he undergo pain for the sake of all living. And so it wasthat
having become Buddhahe continued in the world for forty-five years
preaching his Lawteaching and transformingso that those who had no
rest found restand the unconverted were converted. When his connexion
with the living was completed[12] he attained to pari-nirvana (and died).
Since that eventfor 1497 yearsthe light of the world has gone out[13]
and all living beings have had long-continued sadness. Behold
