22 I do not know how many times I heard my big mother chant this Sutra. Whenever she was not otherwise occupied, she did it from morning to night with a rosary in hand. The Buddhist rosary has a hundred and eight beads on it; and oftentimes my mother managed to finish twenty rounds in a single day! She was illiterate, as practically all ladies of her generation were; but by dint of repetition, she seemed to have an inkling of its meaning. Even to my childish mind, it conveyed some vague idea of the unreality and transiency of life in this world, and evoked a nameless longing for the Other Shore.

33 It was in this homogeneous atmosphere of the Religion of the unknown God that both my wife and I were brought up. This is the ocean we swam in, while the “three religions” were but waves on the ocean.
