Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Cor�e ou Tch�sen (la Terre du Calme Matinal)
Le bouddhisme atteignit la plus haute p�riode d'�clat de 905 � 1392. Le Grand Mongol, koublai-kh'an, en �tait devenu lui-m�me un ardent ap�tre_ La fin du x1v� si�cle marque l'�re de d�cadence de cette religion. La puret� du dogme s'alt�re, les monast�res qui �taient autrefois le s�jour des vertus devinrent des foyers de vice et de corruption. La d�prava tion et la licence des pr�tres de Bouddha excit�rent contre eux de vie lents murmures, et l'indignation �tant arriv�e � son comble, le peuple se souleva et en fit un massacre g�n�ral, tant dans la capitale que dans le reste du pays.
