One of the Master-Builders of old was Pythagoras; he brought from Ind
the wisdom of the BUDDHA, and translated it into Greek thought, adding
to its austere grandeur the beauty characteristic of Greece, as Grecian
art made tenderer the stern outlines of Indian sculpture. Those whose
thought runs on Greek lines will here find the oldest wisdom garbed in
Grecian grace, retaining the beauty of simplicity and adding the
fairness of form. May those who read be drawn to meditate; may those who
meditate find the hidden treasures. So will modern western life become
gradually permeated with a refining, ennobling influence and schools of
Pythagorean thought will do for the modern nations what the school of
Pythagoras did for ancient Greece Annie Besant
